The tasmanian devil, a marsupial carnivore, is facing extinction due to devil facial tumor disease (dftd) which causes bulging cancerous lumps and lesions to erupt around the face and neck — often causing enough deformation to make seeing or eating difficult. dftd has evolved into a contagious cancer, a trait that is unique among cancers. devil mating behavior involves biting around the head and neck, allowing cells from one individual — especially cells from the crumbly dftd tumors — to be transferred to the wounds or face of a new individual. this marsupial was once found across australia, but sea levels rose, isolating the tasmanian population, while the australian population went extinct. what would be an outcome of genetic isolation that is likely to have impacted the spread of dftd? a) reduced territory puts diseased individuals in greater contact with non-diseased ones. b) inbreeding results in less variation in facial features so the cancer is generally fatal. c) genetic isolation has made it difficult for scientists to develop a vaccine against dftd. d) the lack of genetic variation in the immune system of tasmanian devils minimizes resistance to the disease.

The double bond between a carbon atom and two oxygen atoms (a molecule of carbon dioxide) has two characteristics. what are they? a. an ionic bond is formed between the oxygen and carbon atoms. b. four valence electrons are shared. c. two valence electrons are shared. d. valence electrons are shared between oxygen atoms.

Abiology teacher asks students to give examples of genetic variations that support the idea that changes in a population’s environment affect genetic variation. which is the least supportive example? a. changes in genetics in human populationsb. antibiotic resistance in bacteria populationsc. pesticide resistance in garden insectsd. changes in the color of the peppered moth population in england
