Answer: They tell exactly where a place is between lines of latitude or longitude.
Minutes and seconds are smaller, more exact measurements than degrees, which are the basic units of latitude and longitude. They can be compared to feet and yards vs. miles. Using a smaller unit of measurement helps to describe the exact geographic position, whereas simply giving the position in degrees gives a more general description of the location.

The ABO and MN blood-type frequencies of the Dunkers differ significantly from those of current American and German populations
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer: Genetic Drift

Explanation: Genetic drift is an evolutionary mechanism whereby gene or allele frequency of a particular population change over generations due to random chance. The effect of genetic drift is most visible in small population due to reduction in population size resulting from natural disaster or splitting of a small group from the main population to formation a colony. However, it can occur in large population as well but it's effect is as strong as that occurring within a small population.

The genetic drift among the Dunkers could be attributed to the official split between conservatives and progressives members in 1882.
