An individual having two different alleles of a specific gene is described as being Heterozygous for that specific trait.

You have a heterozygous genotype for that gene if the two versions differ. Being heterozygous for hair color, for example, means you have one allele for red hair and one allele for brown hair. The interaction of the two alleles influences which traits are expressed.

Being homozygous for a gene means you inherited two identical copies. It is the inverse of a heterozygous genotype, in which the alleles differ. People with recessive characteristics, such as blue eyes or red hair, are always homozygous for that gene. In genetics, heterozygous means having inherited different versions (alleles) of a genomic marker from each biological parent. As a result, a person who is heterozygous for a genomic marker has two distinct versions of that marker.

Peter and Rosemary Grant observed a small group of the large ground finches that colonized Daphne Major in the Galápagos Islands
erica [24]

Answer:

1) Founder effect and genetic drift: Small colonizing population did not represent the original gene pool of the source population and was more likely to undergo genetic drift.

2) Natural selection

Explanation:

Evolution of the population of the finches with larger beaks might have occurred due to one of the following mechanisms:

a) Founder effect and genetic drift: Since the size of the colonizing population was small, it did not carry all the genes and their alleles present in the gene pool of the original population. The small population size made it more likely to evolve by any chance event.  

b) Natural selection: The availability of different food types in the new habitat led to the natural selection of the larger beaks as the finches with larger beaks might have been able to better exploit the available food resources.

In the given case, no antibiotic is needed for dental procedures.  

Based on the updated recommendations from the American Heart Association, there is no need to take a precautionary antibiotic prior to dental proceedings for the majority of people.  

It has been suggested by AHA that only those who are at greatest threat of bad consequences from infective endocarditis needs to get the short-term preventive antibiotics prior to routine dental approaches.  

It has been recommended by the AHA guidelines that various of the people who have taken preventive antibiotics in the past no longer need them, these include the individuals with the conditions, like mitral valve prolapse, ventricular septal defect, bicuspid valve disease, rheumatic heart disease, and others.
