52 POINTS A natural disaster caused a piece of land to break away from the mainland. The landmass drifted away from the mainland and became isolated in the ocean. The landmass has a small fraction of species that were present on the mainland, and only a few individuals of each species survived. What will happen to the biodiversity of the newly formed island?

-The biodiversity will decrease because there are fewer species on the newly formed island.

-The biodiversity will increase because the landmass is isolated from the island.

-There will be no change in the biodiversity of the newly formed island.

-The species on the island will likely have lower genetic diversity than the species on the mainland.

-The species on the island will have a higher risk of genetic mutations because they’re now on an island.

E

Explanation:

The animals will have to adapt and therefore, will gain genetic mutations

hydroxyl -oh

alcohols, always polar, can form hydrogen bonds with h2o molecules

carboxyl -cooh  

cargoxylic acids, has acidic properties which is a source of hydrogen ions, found in cells in ionized for with a charge of oh-1

carbonyl > co

ketone if within skeleton, aldehyde if group is at the end of skeleton, k & a may be structural isomers, it determines 2 sugars (ketose & aldose)

amino -nh2

amines, acts as a base, it can pick up h+ ions from surrounding solution, ionized with charge of 1+

methyl ch2

addition to rna/dna affects and gene expression

phosphate -opo3 ²⁻

organic phosphates, contributes to negative charge to, molecule that it is a part of, and potential to react with h20

sulfhydryl -sh

thiols, cross-linking stabilize the protein, and it is structure

hi~~

i would say that hybridization occurs frequently in nature, because there are many types of hybrids that have occurred naturally, such as the mule (male donkey + female horse)
