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.

Apopulation of rabbits live in a local forest. some had a mutation for a large body and long legs. the graph below shows the number of both the mutant and the normal rabbits over 5 generations. which of the following statements is true for this scenario? question 7 options: the rabbits with the mutation were more successful with restricted food than the normal rabbits. both sets of rabbits were equally successful with the restricted food source. i the normal rabbits were more successful with restricted food than the rabbits with the mutation. the graph does not let us know which rabbit was more successful.
