Hello! Your answer is the bottleneck effect.

Speaking more broadly, genetic drift is when a population becomes smaller, and there are fewer genotypes in the gene pool. There are two types of genetic drift: the bottleneck effect and the founder effect.

The bottleneck effect is when an environmental change / human activity causes many members of the population to die, which means that the gene pool is now represented by just a few organisms. This is correct in this scenario, as an environmental change caused the gene pool to be reduced.

The founder effect is when a new colony is established elsewhere, so only alleles in the smaller founder group will be reproduced.

Hope this helps!

At 20°C the enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of polysaccharides functions at 1 reaction every 20 microseconds. If this enzyme
lora16 [44]

Answer:

Seven segments

Explanation:

As given in the question -  

After every  twenty microseconds one reaction occurs i.e breakdown of polysaccharides.  

This means that after every  twenty microseconds the polysaccharides is broken down  

The total time for this hydrolysis reaction is  120 micro seconds

Thus , there will be six phases of division each after every  twenty microseconds

After 1st  twenty microseconds , total segments is equal to two

After 2nd  twenty microseconds , total segments is equal to three

After 3rd  twenty microseconds , total segments is equal to four

After 4th twenty  microseconds , total segments is equal to five

After 5th twenty  microseconds , total segments is equal to six

After 6th twenty microseconds , total segments is equal to seven
