The answer is <span>A. Decrease in genetic variation
</span><span>
A founder effect is a result of a geographical separation of a few individuals from the original population. Those few founding individuals will form a new population so they are founders. In this new population, there will be present alleles of the few founding individuals. However, those few founding individuals do not represent a whole genetic variation of the old population, but only some part of it.
Imagine a population of fish in which there are yellow, green, blue, and red colored fish. In the population, there is a genetic variation. But, if a few green-colored and red-colored fish geographically separate from the population and form a new population, in the new population there will be decreased genetic variation (because there are only green and red fish compared to the old population where are fish in 4 different colors).</span>

Describe how the integumentary system responds to differences in sunlight
Mama L [17]

The integumentary system (skin) reacts different on different sun intensity (different length exposure to sun).

For example, moderate exposure to the sunlight contributes to the production of melanin and vitamin D by the body. On the other hand, high exposure to sunlight can have negative health effects such as sunburn, which is an inflammatory response to DNA damage caused by UV radiation.

Answer:

Meiosis is a special type of cell division used by sexually-reproducing organisms to produce the gametes, such as sperm or egg cells. It involves two rounds of division that ultimately result in four cells with only one copy of each chromosome.

2 divisions

4

Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction which does not involve the fusion of gametes or change in the number of chromosomes.

No genetic variation, all daughter cells are identical
