Florida orange growers often have hundreds of trees in their orchard, similar to those shown here. Florida temperatures can be mostly tropical or temperate. However, even areas of southern Florida can be exposed to freezing temperatures in the winter.
Suppose that an extreme frost affected an area where the orange orchard is growing. Predict the impacts of this event on the
orange trees. Select ALL that apply.
A)
The trees will undergo mutations that enable them to survive harsher and
colder winters in the future.
B)
This could result in a population bottleneck, where few trees survive,
resulting in lowered genetic diversity
C)
The trees will undergo artificial selection which results in only trees that
are better adapted to freezing temperatures
D)
Trees with the ability to survive the freezing temperatures will reproduce
and create offspring with similar genetic makeup.
E)
The trees in the orchard may all be of similar genetic origin, resulting in a
common tolerance or susceptibility to the freezing weather.

Mike was adopted, and his biological family history is unknown. although he is healthy, he would like some understanding of his genetic makeup, including potential health risks and genes that he could pass on to his children. mike has heard about commercial laboratories that can compare segments of your dna to those of people with common hereditary diseases in order to give you some idea of how susceptible you are to the diseases. the results of these types of tests are highly inconclusive. if mike's dna showed that he shares similarities in a segment of dna with people who have a given disease, his chances of developing that disease or passing it on to his children may be slightly elevated, but they are not 100 percent. these tests can cost more than $2,500 and are not covered by many insurance companies. do you think that mike should undergo the genetic tests? explain your answer. what are the potential pros and cons of having such tests done? describe how the availability of these genetic tests might affect the frequency of genetic diseases in individuals and populations.
