Forest logging removes trees leaving behind only smaller bushes. Some rats in a depleted forest have an allele that makes them smaller than normal rats, it is easier for the small rats to hide from predators in the bushes. How will the allele frequency change in the rat population and has genetic diversity helped or hurt the survival of the rat population ? Explain

Genetic diversity helped them survive, if there weren’t small rats in the first place they wouldn’t have been able to hide from predators. Normal sized rats would die due to lack of hiding spots, making the small rats thrive.

any abiotic or biotic factor in an ecosystem that causes a population's size to slow or decrease is a limiting factor.

gregor john mendel is known for study of inheritance in pea plants. he used garden pea plant for his study, having alternative traits for various characters. he performed cross-breeding in pea plants to check how characters are transmitted between parents to offspring, such as cross between pure tall and pure dwarf plant. mendel studied the inheritance patterns in pea plants for various generations.

thus, the correct answer includes options and f).
