193 11 Question it point) 9th attempt See Periodic Table Q See Hint In the case of the Florida panther, a severe genetic bottleneck has resulted in reproductive difficulty for the panthers, with many males having low sperm count and abnormal sperm. Why don't scientists reintroduce genetic diversity back in to the population? Select all that apply Choose one or more: - A. The original and utimate source of diversity is mutation, which cannot be safely recreated by scientists for the Florida panther B. Scientists are reintroducing diversity through a comprehensive breeding program. B C. Scientists can try t o reintroduce genetic diversity, but it will not be successfully established in the population without successful reproduction. Since the panthers have reproductive problems, successful reproductioni difficult. D. When the panthers died off almost to extinction, most panther genetic diversity died with those individuals who carried it in their DNA. Therefore, there is no available genetic diversity to reintroduce.

Explanation / Answer

The correct option is a and c.

Introduction of genetic diversity is possible mainly through sexual reproduction. As reproduction will not occur successfully due to abnormal sperm or low sperm count, so there is less chances of diversity
