Read the following scenario to answer the following question. over the past 60 years, many amphibian species have experienced significant population declines, and some species have become extinct. scientists suspected that local human activities such as the destruction of wetlands, regional pollution, and deforestation were the main reasons for these losses. however, research over the past 20 years reveals significant amphibian population declines in protected areas of the world, such as nature preserves and parks. these global declines suggest widespread problems including increased ultraviolet radiation, acid rain, and disease. in switzerland, for example, 14 of the 20 native amphibian species are threatened with extinction. when most populations of a wide-ranging amphibian species are lost and the few remaining populations are widely separated, we expect to see that a. the founder effect becomes increasingly important b. microevolution no longer occurs c. gene flow between populations is reduced d. artificial selection becomes a greater factor in microevolution

Seen in some gram-positive bacilli, occurs when only the inner portion of a cell wall is deposited across the dividing cell. this new cross wall puts tension on the outer layer of the old cell wall. eventually, the outer wall breaks at its weakest point with a snapping movement that tears it most of the way around. the daughter cells can then remain hanging together almost side by side being held by a small remnant of the original outer wall. choose from the following statements the ones that correctly discuss reproduction using binary fission in a bacterial cell. select all that apply. view available hint(s) select all that apply. due to the stretching of the cytoplasmic membrane, both cells will contain a complete genome. each daughter cell will contain an equal number of organelles. the daughter cell will be a permanently smaller copy of the mother cell but will contain a complete genome. each daughter cell is an exact copy of the other, both genetically and morphologically

What is an endocrine function? (apex) a.esophageal glands release mucus into the esophagus b.salivary glands release saliva into mouth c.swear glands release sweat to the skin d.the pineal gland releases melatonin into the bloodstream
