The tasmanian devil, a marsupial carnivore, is facing extinction due to devil facial tumor disease (dftd) which causes bulging cancerous lumps and lesions to erupt around the face and neck — often causing enough deformation to make seeing or eating difficult. dftd has evolved into a contagious cancer, a trait that is unique among cancers. devil mating behavior involves biting around the head and neck, allowing cells from one individual — especially cells from the crumbly dftd tumors — to be transferred to the wounds or face of a new individual. this marsupial was once found across australia, but sea levels rose, isolating the tasmanian population, while the australian population went extinct. what would be an outcome of genetic isolation that is likely to have impacted the spread of dftd? a) reduced territory puts diseased individuals in greater contact with non-diseased ones. b) inbreeding results in less variation in facial features so the cancer is generally fatal. c) genetic isolation has made it difficult for scientists to develop a vaccine against dftd. d) the lack of genetic variation in the immune system of tasmanian devils minimizes resistance to the disease.

It is believed that europa, one of jupiter’s moons has an ocean beneath its surface. based on how earth’s oceans and atmosphere are believed to have formed, what can be said about europa’s supposed ocean? the arrival of in the early days of europa’s existence could have formed its ocean. it is likely that the water experienced , similar to earth. it is also possible that this water is retained beneath europa’s surface and in its atmosphere due to europa’s .

The graph below compares the rates of reaction of a burning candle and an exploding firework. comparing chemical reactions what can you conclude from the graph? the reaction that causes a firework to explode requires less energy to start, and occurs more rapidly than the reaction that causes a candle to burn. the reaction that causes a firework to explode requires less energy to start, and occurs less rapidly than the reaction that causes a candle to burn. the reaction that causes a firework to explode requires more energy to start, and occurs less rapidly than the reaction that causes a candle to burn. the reaction that causes a firework to explode requires more energy to start, and occurs more rapidly than the reaction that causes a candle to burn. mark this and return
