A high level of gene flow into a population increases genetic diversity in a population. A high level of gene flow out of a population decreases genetic diversity in a population. Genetic drift is the change in allele frequencies due to "sampling error" factors. Typically, genetic drift has the biggest impact on small populations.
Gene flow (or gene migration) is a mechanism of evolution (change the allele frequencies) which transfers genetic variation among populations due to migration. High level of gene flow decreases the genetic differentiation between the two populations.
Genetic drift is a mechanism of evolution that acts by chance (“sampling error”) often when a population is reduced in size by a natural disaster (bottleneck effect) or when a small group leaves the main population and forms a colony (founder effect).
B. Decrease. The shrew population is dependent upon the grasshoppers as a prey item. A decrease in the available prey would result in a decrease in the predator population due to lack of resources to support the current population.
Answer: Giving birth only in the spring and summer ensures that offspring are born when food is most available.
Explanation:
Answer:
1. reducing sugars are sugars that anomeric carbon has an OH group attached
2. Non reducing sugars do not have an OH group attached
