8. A forest is home to a large population of flies with high genetic diversity. A nearby factory has released pollution into the forest. How can genetic diversity help the fly population survive

Genetic diversity can and will allow the flies to adapt differently, and learn how to survive with the pollution in the air. There may also be different traits that help them survive the pollution.

Explanation:

If they were all the same they could be quickly killed off and may never have the chance to adapt the the changing environment around them.

answer-

the statement that f(x) = |x+a| + b has exactly one x-intercept is sometimes correct.

solution-

it solely depends on b, whether the function will have one or two or zero x intercept.

this plot of the given function, f(x) = |x+a| + b will be the basic absolute value graph i.e v shape, with vertex translated to (-a, b), instead of origin.

1-   if b is zero, the graph will have exactly one x-intercept, at x= -a

2- if b is positive, the whole graph will be above the x-axis, hence it will have no x-intercepts.

3- if b is negative, the graph will be below the x-axis, hence it will have two x-intercepts.

∴ the statement is sometimes true.
