Genetic diversity has helped the survival of the rat population. It allows for a wider range of traits within the population, which can help rats adapt to changing environments and resist diseases. Conversely, a lack of genetic diversity can increase vulnerability to threats like diseases or environmental changes.

How does genetic variation affect population survival?
Imagine you had a bunch of bacteria which grow on glucose. Through a genetic mutation one of them gains the abilitiy to digest galactose also. You might think that sugar is sugar and anyhow, there's always enough glucose for everyone. Generally speaking you're right, and the mutant invests more energy than his colleagues to maintain his mutation, which is a disadvantage under normal conditions. But now imagine an evil scientist, who transfers the bacteria to a galactose-medium: All will starve except mutant, which will grow faster without having neighbours to share his meal with. So the Mutation helped the species to survive.
How have advancements in agriculture and medicine affected the diversity of life on earth?
Advancements in agriculture have led to changes in land use, such as deforestation and monoculture farming, which have reduced biodiversity by destroying habitats and displacing species. However, advancements in medicine have helped to reduce mortality rates, increasing human population and placing pressure on ecosystems and biodiversity through resource consumption and habitat alteration.
What is the possible way to cure genetic disorder?
currently there are no treatments for genetic disorders
What did the hershey-chase blender experiment help prove?
The Hershey-Chase blender experiment helped prove that DNA, not protein, is the genetic material of a bacteriophage. By using radioactive labeling, they were able to track the transmission of genetic material from the virus to the infected bacteria, showing that it was the DNA and not the protein coat that carried the genetic information.
What helped increase the population of northeastern cities?
increase in diversity
What two things did James Watson Crick's model eventually help explain?
Watson and Crick's model of DNA's double helix structure helped explain how genetic information is stored and replicated. The model also provided insights into how mutations can occur and lead to genetic diversity.
An scientific example of bottleneck effect?
The northern elephant seal population was drastically reduced due to hunting in the 19th century, leading to a severe genetic bottleneck. This resulted in decreased genetic diversity within the population, making them more vulnerable to diseases and environmental changes. Conservation efforts have helped the population recover, but they still exhibit the genetic effects of the bottleneck.

What were the roles of the inuit boys?
They helped with the women in group survival
What do Galapagos finches have to do with each principle of natural selection?
Galapagos finches showcase natural selection principles: variation in beak size reflects genetic diversity among individuals; those with beaks suited to the available food sources survive (survival of the fittest); over time, the population's average beak size may change as those with advantageous traits pass them on to offspring (reproductive success).
What two mechanisms helped shape the great diversity of life?
evoloution and adaptation
Who helped set middle colonies on the road to tolerance and diversity?
Williams Penn
