The Amish populations in the United States began with relatively few individuals and have not recruited many newcomers to the po

pulation. Today, these Amish populations exhibit a much higher incidence of polydactyly (possessing extra digits) than other American populations. Which mechanism of evolution is likely responsible for this phenomenon

Answer: The founder effect

Explanation: The high incidence of polydactyl prevalent among the Amish population could be attributed to the a case of genetic drift called the founder effect. The founder effect occurs when a small population consisting of few people separate from a much large population, just like the Amish population separating from the larger American community. Due to the few composition or small size of the population, the genetic impact or influence on members of the population is usually higher than the effect on the larger population and leading to more rapid spread. The relatively small individuals which make up the Amish population compared to the larger American community is the reason why polydactyl hmis prevent within them and since theere are no newcomers, the trend will likely continue.

D. If you have scratch paper and draw it out, it would greatly help you. A different way would be to visualize it in your head. Behind the Earth is Full moon, in front is new moon, above/below is half/gibbous. To the right of below is 3/4. To the left of below is 1/4. To the right of above is also 3/4. To the left of above is 1/4.

Fynjy0 [20]
<span>Christa carrying the baby to the 43rd week would make her baby postmature. Postmaturity is a common phrase that simply means the baby has been in gestation for longer than 42 weeks or more than 294 after the first day of the mothers last period. This is not very common, roughly 6 percent of babies are born at 42 weeks or any later.</span>

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

It is due to the proofreading activity of RNA polymerase.

Explanation:

RNA polymerase is the most significant enzyme of transcription process which deals with the synthesis of RNA from DNA.

   RNA polymerase reads the template DNA or antisense strand of DNA and helps in the addition of correct nitrogen bases to the growing RNA strand that is complementary with respect to the nucleotides present within the template DNA strand.

     After the addition of bases to the growing RNA strand the proofreading process take place in to verify that all the incorporated bases within the growing RNA chain is correct or not.If any incorrect base is incorporated in the growing RNA strand then the proofreading process replace that incorrect base with the correct one.

  All this processes occur in very quick succession that"s why RNA polymerase can locate a promoter sequence faster than two molecules can collide.
