After having meals, a sticky layer will be formed on the tooth. It's called a plaque. When you eat something, the bacteria in the plaque will undergo anaerobic respiration and will turn the sugar in your food into acid. The other layer of tooth, enamel, may be corroded by the acid formed. When the enamel is corroded, the dentine and pulp cavity will be exposed, and bacteria may get into it and attack them. That's how tooth decay is formed.

Si una población crece mucho otra vez después de un cuello de botella con el paso del tiempo aumentará diversidad genética ¿por
sammy [17]

Answer:

los mecanismos capaces de generar diversidad actúan para incrementar la variabilidad genética en la población que sufrió el cuello de botella

Explanation:

Un cuello de botella se refiere a una reducción drástica en el tamaño de una población (por ejemplo, debido a una catástrofe natural). Un cuello de botella es un fenómeno que está asociado a la ​reducción en la variación genética y fijación de ciertos alelos en la población resultante, lo cual es causado por la deriva genética, es decir, debido al muestreo al azar de los individuos que formarán la población en la siguiente generación. Paulatinamente, los mecanismos capaces de generar variabilidad genética aumentarán nuevamente la diversidad de la población que sufrió el cuello de botella. En una población de reproducción sexual, la variación genética se genera mediante cuatro procesos diferentes: 1-mutación (es decir, la aparición de nuevos alelos debido a alteraciones en la secuencia de ADN); 2-recombinación (es decir, el intercambio de información genética entre cromátidas no hermanas durante la meiosis); 3-segregación independiente de cromosomas durante la meiosis (capaz de producir nuevas combinaciones de alelos) y 4-fertilización al azar (lo cual también incrementa el número de combinaciones entre gametos que darán lugar a un nuevo individuo).

anastassius [24]
In a supermarket it is likely that the store will be divided into many categories to ensure the customer is able to find what they are looking for promptly. for example, at Walmart, you may find a clothing section, a toy section, a produce section, toiletries section, makeup section and bakery section among many others. this style of organization allows for customers to know exactly where they must go to find what they are looking for - if they would like to purchase an apple they would go to produce etc.
