You can't explain behavior by merely focusing on internal characteristics of a person such as being sadistic and cruel. Such behaviors were not exactly predisposition. They were heavily influenced by external factors like commands from a legitimate power such as Adolf Hitler. The Milgram experiment was actually inspired by the harsh acts of Germans during the WWII. People can actually go to extreme lengths, even if such acts are an attack of one's personal conscience, since they believe the legitimacy of a higher power, consequently making their actions legal or morally right even when it is not.

Familial hypercholesterolemia, an autosomal dominant disease, is five times more frequent in the Afrikaner population of South A
vivado [14]

Answer:Founder Effect

Explanation:

Founder Effect Definition

This is a phenomena that refers to when a larger group which has been in one location splits apart into smaller groups as they move to different locations.

Irrespective of the traits acquired from the original large population , the newly formed small population will only take traits or resemblance from the founders of the smaller groups rather than from the original ancestors.

As the population get smaller so are the chances of losing all the traits from the original larger population.

This means as the population splits into smaller groups and locating into other areas they will eventually be genetically different from their original population from which they came from.

There is a chance of new species forming with totally different genes.

hence the South African Afrikaners do not resemble their original population anymore as a result of the founder effect.
