Northern elephant seals were hunted to the point that their population size was reduced to as few as 20 in the late 1800s. since then, their populations have rebounded to over 30,000. however, the genetic diversity is significantly reduced in the rebounded population of elephant seals. what explains this lack of genetic diversity in a population of 30,000?

Population bottlenecks.  but their genes still carry the marks of this bottleneck: they have much less genetic variation than a population of southern elephant seals that was not so intensely hunted.

raits that your monster will have. the dna code for each trait is given, so you will need to go through the process of transcription and translation to determine what protein is being made and then match that with the corresponding trait. you may even include a picture of your monster if you are feeling creati

it's     c       this is a cell (b) with a nucleus (c) containing dna (a). the dna is organized into chromosomes (d). a section of the chromosome that codes for a trait is called a gene (e).
