What is the d/CE between ruminant and non ruminant animals

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.

In 2001, records showed that local stocks of fish were down worldwide. yet, records of harvests indicated that fish were being taken at records rates. what was actually happening?

Color blindedness is a sex-linked trait. if we could see the pedigree chart for several more generations of the family illustrated here, we would expect a) more males to be color blind. eliminate b) more females to be color blind. c) no females to ever be color blind. d) an equal number of males and females that are color blind.
