In 1966, the population of wolves in the Yellowstone area was at a critical low. Biologists were concerned with the excessively high elk population that was causing an imbalance of the ecosystem. Elk and other large prey animals gathered in large herds causing vegetation to be overgrazed. Coyotes filled the niche of the wolves in the ecosystem affecting populations of small prey animals. The five last known wild Mexican gray wolves were captured in 1980. Starting in 1995, grey wolf packs were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park and Idaho where their numbers continue to grow. Explain how the reintroduction of wolves likely affected organism biodiversity in Yellowstone.

Read the following scenario to answer the following question. over the past 60 years, many amphibian species have experienced significant population declines, and some species have become extinct. scientists suspected that local human activities such as the destruction of wetlands, regional pollution, and deforestation were the main reasons for these losses. however, research over the past 20 years reveals significant amphibian population declines in protected areas of the world, such as nature preserves and parks. these global declines suggest widespread problems including increased ultraviolet radiation, acid rain, and disease. in switzerland, for example, 14 of the 20 native amphibian species are threatened with extinction. when most populations of a wide-ranging amphibian species are lost and the few remaining populations are widely separated, we expect to see that a. the founder effect becomes increasingly important b. microevolution no longer occurs c. gene flow between populations is reduced d. artificial selection becomes a greater factor in microevolution

Agroup of students is studying convection currents. they fill two identical balloons with the same amount of helium. one balloon is placed in a freezer and the other in an area with warm air. after 10 minutes, the balloons are released from a height of 1 meter. which of the following do the students most likely observe? question 8 options: the cold balloon expands and rises. the warm balloon shrinks and sinks. the balloons rise at the same rate. both balloons are the same size. the ballons both rise. the cold ballon is larger than the warm balloon. the warm balloon expands and rises. the cold balloon shrinks and sinks.
