Imagine that one of the original four mice that escape from a research lab is blind due to a genetic defect. If the mice breed and most of the mice born in subsequent generations are blind from birth, this is most likely a case of:

The correct answer is founder effect.

Explanation:

A decline in the genetic variation, which arises when a small part of a large population gives rise to a novel colony is termed as the founder effect. This new population seems to be distinct from its original population, as it may possess different phenotypes and genotypes. However, in certain situations, the founder effect plays an essential role in the creation of novel species.  

Thus, the given case is a clear illustration of the founder effect, as the mouse that was blind from birth has resulted in the creation of separate generations of mice, which are blind from birth resulting due to a genetic defect. Therefore, a founder effect can at certain times influence a population in such a manner that they may prevail more of a specific kind of gene or less of a specific kind of gene.  

the answer is: trichonympha lives in the gut of termites and digests cellulose eaten by the termite.

this is an example of a symbiotic association of a protozoan with its mode of association.

the correct answer is - d. china has a large and growing population.

the fact that china has a large (the biggest) population, and it is still growing, doesn't hinder the agriculture production in the country. in fact, it can for increased production in the agriculture, since there's more labor force, as well the sheer mass of people produces lots of scientists that come up with new inventions as to how to improve this sector. nice example is the inner mongolia region in china, in general dominated by the gobi desert, but few scientist came up with a nice idea as to how to make the region productive by using plants that are very resistant to droughts, so lots of people have been employed, and the region is becoming greener and greener each year, and the production of food in this region is also increasing.
