In 2015, over 200,000 Saiga antelopes died in Kazakhstan, and researchers recently determined that a severe bacterial infection caused these deaths. 200,000 dead antelopes greatly changed the ecosystem processes occurring in the dry grasslands of Kazakhstan (48 degrees north latitude). Determine if each of the following statements is likely or not likely to occur following the mass death of these animals.

More energy will be available to primary producers than before the antelopes died.
A. Likely B. Not Likely

Decomposition rates in this grassland will be higher than the decomposition rates in a tropical forest.
A. Likely B. Not Likely

Awoman whose sister tested positive for a specific mutation in the brca1 gene, which increases the risk for breast and ovarian cancer, is found not to have that mutation but does have a mutation of unknown significance near the known mutation site. how should this woman be counseled? select one: a. she should be informed that her risk for breast cancer is greater than the general population but not as great as her sister’s risk. b. she should be informed that because she does not have the mutation, her risk for breast cancer is not greater than that of the general population. c. she should be informed of her gene mutation status and be presented with all the available prophylaxis options and reconstruction options. d. she should be informed that she does not have the specific mutation but that because another mutation is present she should be vigilant about screening
