Answer:

The correct answer is-A Genetic diversity in the new insect population will be lower due to the founder effect.

Explanation:

In founder effect, the genetic pool of a population becomes small because a small number of individuals are separated from a large population and established in a new geographical area.

Therefore due to fewer individuals, these individuals would have less genetic variation than the original population and the genetic pool of the new population would also be small. Small gene pool means less genetic diversity.

So when some individuals of particular species of insects that did not yet exist on the new continent populate in their new surrounding then genetic diversity in the new insect population will be lower due to the founder effect.

Gravity , Explosion

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nebulae are made of dust and gases—mostly hydrogen and helium. The dust and gases in a nebula are very spread out, but gravity can slowly begin to pull together clumps of dust and gas. As these clumps get bigger and bigger, their gravity gets stronger and stronger.

Eventually, the clump of dust and gas gets so big that it collapses from its own gravity. The collapse causes the material at the center of the cloud to heat up-and this hot core is the beginning of a star.
