Genetic diversity is lost in a small population when Select one: a. Individuals from other populations are introduced into the population and the genes are diluted b. The ecological diversity is high c. Genetic mutations cause most individuals in a population to have similar genetic makeup d. Genetic mutations cause some individuals in a population to be different in coloration or size e. Only a few individuals survive a catastrophe

economic impact of malaria is estimated to cost africa $12 billion every year. this figure factors in costs of health care, absenteeism, days lost in education, decreased productivity due to brain damage from cerebral malaria, and loss of investment and tourism.

the correct answer is: b. pantala flavescens, because these organisms would have a high level of genetic variation due to sexual reproduction.  

because involves two organisms (parents) whose genetic material combines, sexual reproduction leads to genetic variation in new generations of offspring. the offspring is an unique organism, with new genome, more protected with the higher ability to adapted. this process is fundamental to evolution.
