b. a flood drowns most of the lizards in a area. only lizards that can swim live to reproduce.

Researchers randomly divide participants into groups. each group takes a different amount of omega-3 fatty acid supplements daily for a month. one group receives a placebo. the researchers measure the impact on cholesterol levels in the blood. what is the purpose of random assignment in this experiment? a, to produce treatment groups with similar characteristics b, to ensure that all people with high cholesterol have an equal chance of being selected for the study c, to increase the accuracy of the research results and prevent skewness in the data

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.
