Answer:

The answer is to this question is D.

Explanation:

The situation described in the question is an example of the founder effect. It can be described as "when a small amount of people leave their habitats and form a smaller population elsewhere, there is a decrease in genetic diversity and this change is called the founder effect."

"In a reduced population" in the question points to the founder effect. Although if the reduction of the population is dramatic and immediate, it can also be an example of the bottleneck effect.

I hope this answer helps.

Why do we have different time zones
swat32

As Earth rotates, different parts of Earth receive sunlight or darkness, giving us day and night. Since different parts of Earth enter and exit daylight at different times, we need different time zones. In the late 1800s, a group of scientists figured out a way to divide the world into different time zones.

How can two organisms with a dominant trait for a specific feature produce an organism with a recessive trait for the same featu
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

If the two organisms are heterozygous for the dominant trait.

Explanation:

For every trait, a diploid organism receives two forms of gene called ALLELE, from each parent. Allele is the variant form of a gene.

According to Mendel's law of dominance, for a particular trait, an allele is capable of masking the expression of another allele in a gene. The expressed allele is called the DOMINANT allele while the masked allele is called the RECESSIVE allele. Due to this, an organism can express a dominant trait even in a combined or heterozygous state i.e. different alleles.

When the two heterozygous organisms mate or are crossed, they undergo meiosis and their alleles are separated into GAMETES according to Mendel's law of segregation. For example; an organism with genotype (genetic make-up) Aa will produce gametes with A and a alleles.

Note that, a recessive trait can only be expressed in a homozygous state i.e. same allele. Hence, the two heterozygous organisms will produce gametes containing the recessive allele, which will likely combine to produce a recessive phenotype or trait.
