An earthquake hits a small island. All but a few individuals of a lizard species are eliminated in this catastrophe, and an allele is lost from the population. This is an instance of the bottleneck effect.

Natural events like an earthquake catastrophe which eliminates, by chance, a large number of individuals of a population, can amplify the phenomenon of genetic drift. It is termed as the bottleneck effect. It leads to the elimination of a large part of the genome abruptly.

Immediately, the survivors' genetic composition becomes the whole population's genetic composition, which might be very distinct from the population that existed before the catastrophe.

Which term best describes the movement of water molecules in and out of a cell
stiv31 [10]

The movement of water molecules in and out of a cell is called osmosis.

Osmosis, or the diffusion of water molecules, is when water molecules flow in or out of a cell from high to low concentrations (down their concentration gradient). The ultimate goal of osmosis is to establish equilibrium between the cell and its outer environment.

Hope this helps!

Identify some beverages that are mixtures. Classify them as solutions, suspensions, or neither. Explain your classifications.
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case we can for instance take into account the following mixtures:

- Orange juice.

- Tea.

- A soda.

- Salty water

- Coffee.

Thus, since the orange juice is a suspension as long as it contains different sizes of orange pulp particles that cannot be dissolved mostly because of its organic nature.

Tea can be a solution when we place a tea bag in a cup with warm water since just soluble components of tea are successfully dissolved in the water. Moreover, homemade tea based on some plants are fruits may behave as a suspension due to the oraginic particles that are not dissolved in the water yet suspended.

A soda is a solution of some water-soluble compounds, gaseous soluble carbon dioxide and water which are homogeneously distributed in the solution.

Salty water can be a solution if you put some salt in warm or just cold water and wait until it dissolves completely.

Coffee can be also a solution or suspension depending on how it is made, which type of coffee is used and the amount of coffee added to the hot water.

Best regards.
