Question
Chapter 27.7, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To predict:
In what way the gene flow, genetic drift, and extinction risk would differ between the original and the remnant populations.
Concept introduction:
Gene flow is the transfer of genes or alleles from one population to another.
Genetic drift is the change in allele frequency of a population due to chance events. It is more likely to occur in a small population than a larger population. It decreases the genetic variability of a population.

- CONTEXT The earth is comprised of many different life forms, including plants, animals, humans, and other organisms. These various life forms are highly interdependent and have formed important systems that continually reshape the planet's landscapes, oceans, and atmospheres. Booming human population growth over the last two centuries has put, and continues to put, many of these life-sustaining systems out of balance and in serious jeopardy, endangering many of the plant and animal species that human beings directly and indirectly depend upon for long-term survival. Bigger human populations naturally mean increases in human activities worldwide, leading to changes in landscapes, oceans, atmospheres, and the path of human history. For example, as noted in the benchmark of this lesson, human activities like reducing the amount of forest cover, increasing the amount and variety of chemicals released into the atmosphere, and intensive farming, have changed the earth's land, oceans, and…arrow_forwardExplain the following in a detailed manner. 1.

Do you think the two forest formations have the same diversity index values and species richness? Why or why not?arrow_forward
