The correct answer is a founder effect.  

In population genetics, the founder effect refers to the loss of genetic variation that takes place when a new population is developed by a very small amount of individuals from a bigger population.  

As a consequence of the loss of genetic modification, the new population may be characteristically different, both phenotypically and genotypically, from the parent population from which it is obtained. In extreme situations, the founder effect is considered to result in subsequent evolution and speciation of new species.

The ability to taste the chemical PTC is due to a single gene in humans.
Ganezh [65]

0:3:1

Explanation:

Tasters have the dominant allele for the itter taste of PTC, they can be homozygous TT and heterozygous Tt.

Non-tasters are supposed as autosomal recessive characters

they are homozygous recessive tt when expressed

Given in the equation two heterozygotes parents would produce offspring with the trait in the following ratio.

Tt (parent 1)

Tt (parent 2)

 If a punnet square is made

    T      t

T  TT    Tt

t    Tt     tt

The phenotypic character is in the ratio of 0:3:1

There will be 25% chances of recessive trait of non-tasters in the progeny of heterozygous parents.

Describe what must come together in order for atp to be made
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
To make ATP, cells must join together ADP & a phosphate using energy from food. A phosphate is removed from an ATP molecule in order to provide energy for the cell. Thus, the ATP molecule turns into an ADP molecule. We eat food which gives us energy to add another phosphate group to the ADP molecule, turning it into an ATP molecule. The cycle then begins again.
