True.

Explanation:

A population is defined as the set of individuals that inhabit a given geographic area. A population has a certain allele frequency, which is the measure of the relative proportion of alleles in a given population, expressed as a percentage or unit. It is estimate using the number of times the allele is found in a locus and dividing it by the total number of alleles. While the genotypic frequency refers to the number of times that each of the genotypes generated by the two-by-two combinations of the alleles involved in the locus under study appears in relation to the total number of genotypes (which will be equal to the total number of individuals included in the study).

The population can be increased or decreased according to the birth and death rates. Generally, unless specific alterations occur, such as the spread of a disease, immigration, emigration, natural disasters, and others, the size of the population will remain constant. This means that the birth rate is quite similar to the death rate. And the larger the population, the more difficult it is to disturb this balance between births and deaths. So if small fluctuations in survival or reproduction occur between individuals, it is unlikely that this will affect the frequency of alleles and/or genotypes. This is explained using the Hardy-Weinberg principle states that the genetic composition of a population remains in equilibrium as long as no mutation occurs, and nor natural selection nor any other factor acts. After a generation of random mating, the frequencies of the genotypes of a locus are fixed at an equilibrium value. Then, the genetic variation in a population will remain constant from one generation to the next in the absence of extreme disturbing factors such as those mentioned above (diseases, natural disasters, and others).

Note that for this principle to be fulfilled, the population must be diploid (have two alleles of each gene), must reproduce sexually in a random manner, and must be large enough to minimize the effect of genetic drift (random fluctuations in allele frequencies from one generation to the next, due to random events that can cause certain traits to become dominant or disappear from a population).

Our planet has experienced five major extinctions in the four billion year history of life. the first, 450 million years ago, occurred shortly after the evolution of the first land-based plants and 100 million years after the cambrian explosion. the second extinction occurred 350 million years ago, causing the formation of coal forests. next earth experienced two mass extinctions during the triassic period, between 250 and 200 million years ago. the fifth mass extinction occurred 65 million years ago, ending the reptilian dominance of the earth. according to richard leakey, the sixth mass extinction is happening right now. leakey suggests that we, the human race, are the cause. each year, at our hand, approximately 50,000 species vanish from earth. he believes that man is destroying earth at a rate comparable with the impact of a giant asteroid. leakey's statistics indicate that 50% of earth's species will become extinct within the next 100 years assuming leakey's hypothesis of a sixth mass extinction to be true, how will we expect the model to change? a) a sharp spike in the graph approximately 100 million years from now b) a dip in the graph, followed by a sharp spike about 100 million years from now c) a sharp spike in the graph immediately following the "0" location of the x axis d) a plateau following the "0" mark on the x axis, followed by a gradual rise to a new peak
