Abird species that migrated from riverbanks in south america to the northern hemisphere were responsible for pollinating a plant species in south america. however, now it has become dependent on bird food supplied by local residents in bird feeders. fewer and fewer birds stay in their northern habitat rather than migrate south. how will this affect gene flow?

Gene flow would decrease as a result of the alteration of migration patterns. Therefore, the variability of this species would decrease.

Explanation:

Gene flow refers to the transfer or introduction of genes from one population to another. Gene flow enables the introduction of new alleles, therefore increasing biodiversity.

The rate of gene flow between groups of species depends on different factors. For instance, gene flow increases with the ability of a species to move from one place to another and, at the same time, on the possibility of migrating species mating with resident species. This occurs not only with birds but even with humans, when they migrate from one country to another, which increases diversity and variability.

Therefore, if the migration patterns of birds that pollinate a plant species from South America is altered, then there would be less variability within this plant and also with this bird species.

picture a world where computers are building made-to-order personalized robotic arms and synthetic organs, drones are circulating above mars! due to the rapid growth of technology, the future has never been more unpredictable, and it presents a huge challenge in education: we are teaching students how to work in a future that we have never been unsure of. it is widely predicted that in eight years’ time, there will be more jobs in the fields of science, mathematics, technology and engineering than in any other discipline. and, as the technology continues to develop, it will soon become clear that addressing social problems will involve more innovative thinking, and analytical and technical knowledge than ever before. undeniably, there are no subjects that encourage innovative and creative thinking, deep thought, problem solving and independence more than the stem subjects. while it is widely commented on that there is a need to reimagine the ways stem subjects are taught in schools by embracing a more interactive and innovative approach to appeal to more students, it should come as no surprise that some of the most reputable educational organizations in the world are already implementing changes to embrace stem. harvard, for example, announced in 2014 that they were increasing their computer science faculty by over 50% and has since introduced computer science as a core subject for all freshmen. the urgency of supporting stem subjects at a young age is becoming more relevant than ever, as adopting a keen interest in the curricula needs to happen early. however, beyond the age issue is one of gender.
