The correct answer is it decreases genetic diversity only by reducing population size.  
<span>
The great explanation for this is a bottleneck effect, which is an extreme example of genetic drift. The bottleneck effect occurs when the size of a population is reduced due to a catastrophe. When it happens, only a small, random number of individuals survive the event and pass through the bottleneck. Thus, the genetic composition of the random survivors is now the genetic composition of the entire population which means that the genetic diversity is reduced.</span>

The difference in concentration on the two sides of a membrane is called what
Maru [420]

When the concentration o molecules inside a cell is different form the concentration of molecules outside a cell, we can either call it hypertonic or a hypotonic solution, and the difference between the two concentrations is called a concentration gradient.

Hypertonic - name given to a solution that has a bigger concentration than the concentration in a cell.

Hypotonic - name give nto a solution that has a smaller concentration than the concentration in a cell.

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Electrically initiated Improvised Explosive Device (IED) generally consist of four component with the acronym PIES, the P stands for power sources which supplies electrical charge to the I; initiator contains a small amount of explosives such TNT or PETN which triggers the remaining amount of explosive, E is the explosive itself  which is triggered into explosion by the initiator and finally the S, Swtich, example clock or a cell phone which determine the device explodes

Answer:

Tropical dry Climate: The weather is sunny pretty much all year. The ocean + the sun allows a tropical place to be great for growing food. Things such as coconuts and mangoes can be found. Its a great place to vacate because of the sunny climate, also clients will fall in LOVE with the warm beaches. Some activities would be to surf, sunbathe, and study the natrual habitat. The animals are also very interesting. Monkeys and chameleons would be great temporary pets to take care of.

I hope this was good enough, god bless you!!
