← HistoryWhich outcome occurred given depleted pre-Columbian chinampa soils?
A)Increased maize genetic bottlenecking severity✓
B)Enhanced maize drought resistance emergence
C)Greater chinampa construction standardization
D)Reduced maize susceptibility gene expression
💡 Explanation
Increased genetic bottlenecks occurred because soil depletion forced farmers to select few high-yield maize varieties, thereby reducing genetic diversity via genetic drift, rather than enhancing resistance which requires diversity and complex interactions.
