Which of the following could result in the founder effect?A. the establishment of a small colony of nonhuman primates on an isol
ated island off the coast of AfricaB. the introduction of a new predator that rapidly decreases the population of nonvenomous snakes on a Caribbean islandC. the formation of a land bridge between two barrier islands in South Carolina allowing for interbreeding between two populations of salamandersD. the inbreeding and increased incidence of disease among captive Bengal tigers in zoos throughout the worldE. the annual migration of birds to a common mating ground in Mexico from geographically distinct locations
The answer is A. The establishment of a small colony of nonhuman primates on an isolated island.
Explanation:
The founder effect refers to the effect that a small initial number of settling individuals has on the genetic variability of that initial population, which loses much of their original variability due to the many genes that are absent from those few initial settlers. As they reproduce and the population grows it becomes distinct from the source population in the mainland and may lead to a new variety or even a new species given enough time.
Evolution is a consequence of the interaction of four factors: (1) the potential for a species to increase in number, (2) the genetic variation of individuals in a species due to mutation and sexual reproduction
Long term energy storage, form cell membranes, and insulation
Explanation:
Carbohydrates are used for short term energy storage and lipids are used for long term energy storage. Lipids make up about half of the mass of cell membranes and provide insulation.
These are micro body which is found virtually in all the eukaryotic cells. They are involved in the catabolism of long chain and short chain fatty acid.
They generate the highly reactive oxygen species and it is broken down here only.These molecules are hydrogen peroxide and they are converted into water molecules.
The constant motion of particles in a gas allows a gas to fill a container of any shape or size. Particles in a gas are in constant, random motion. The motion of one particle is unaffected by the motion of other particles unless the particles collide.
