Function. There, the villi and the microvilli increase intestinal absorptive surface area approximately 30-fold and 600-fold, respectively, providing exceptionally efficient absorption ofnutrients in the lumen. There are alsoenzymes (enterocyte digestive enzyme) on the surface for digestion.

Answer:

A small finger line projections find in the small intestine is called as villi. The main function of villi and microvilli is to increase the surface area of the intestine. It also contains specialized cells that work to transport substances in the bloodstream. They increase the absorptive surface area to 30 to 600 fold.

Afrikaners are a Southern African ethnic group descended from a very few Dutch settlers first arriving in the seventeenth and
Ne4ueva [31]

The Afrikaners are an example of a founder effect that occurs when  population and the random decrease in genetic variation is an example of genetic drift.

Explanation:

When some individuals from a population move to form a new colony, this phenomenon is called founder effect as in case of Afrikaners. The small population or group of individuals forming a new colony may not exhibit the full genetic diversity of the population they were once the part.

The alleles would get expressed in different frequencies than it would have in original population.

There are chances that some alleles are lost or missing also. The new colony formed has small population so chances of genetic drift are very strong.

Genetic drift does not depend upon the benefit or harmful effect of the alleles as it occurs merely by chance sampling. The small population of Afrikaners felt the effect of genetic variation hence strong genetic drift is seen in them.

BRAINLIESTTTT ASAP!!!!!
Talja [164]

The plasma membrane needs lipids, which make a semi-permeable barrier between the cell and its environment. It also needs proteins, which are involved in cross-membrane transport and cell communication, and carbohydrates, which decorate both the proteins and lipids and help cells recognize each other. Hope this helps :)
