Now you will examine the biodiversity crisis using the Hawaiian Islands as a case study. This archipelago is geographically diverse in size, elevation, and habitat type and is historically rich in biodiversity. Hawaii's variety of plants and animals is an example of how isolation can lead to the emergence of new species. This has produced many very specialized species, most of which are endemic, meaning they are found nowhere else on Earth. Though there is a variety of species, these species are particularly vulnerable to the effects of introduced species, habitat loss and fragmentation. What does the article mean by “these species are particularly vulnerable”?

Taq polymerase is an enzyme isolated from the organism thermophilus aquaticus. this organism has been found living in the hot springs of yellowstone national park. this enzyme is used to copy human dna from crime scenes. most reactions are performed at ranges similar to those of the human body; however, what considerations should be made for optimum use of this enzyme? view available hint(s)taq polymerase is an enzyme isolated from the organism thermophilus aquaticus. this organism has been found living in the hot springs of yellowstone national park. this enzyme is used to copy human dna from crime scenes. most reactions are performed at ranges similar to those of the human body; however, what considerations should be made for optimum use of this enzyme? the enzyme will not work on human dna.nothing should be altered.the ph should be decreased.the temperature should be raised.
