This represents the example of founder effect.

The founder effect is a term in genetics that describes the loss of genetic variation as a result of new population formation by a very small number of individuals from a larger population. Small group of migrants (the afrikaner population of south Africa) that is not genetically representative of the larger population (Europe population) forms a new population with lower genetic variation.

<u>Answer</u>: Founder effect.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • The <em>founder effec</em>t is caused when a small group of individuals becomes separated from a larger population and move into a new area. This smaller population, moving to a new area forms the founder population.
  • Since a new population is established from a smaller population it leads to a loss of genetic variation and, this effect is known as founder effect and this is the reason why<em> Familial hypercholesterolemia is more frequent in the afrikaner population </em>

Explain the rock cycle by describing how an igneous rock can become a sedimentary rock, then a metamorphic rock, and then an ign
Paraphin [41]
An igneous rock can be formed from cooled magma. The igneous rock can become sedimentary if it is broken down by wind or water. The sedimentary rock can become metamorphic if it becomes buried in the earth, where pressure and heat would turn it into a metamorphic rock. The metamorphic rock can then become an igneous rock by melting underground and turning into magma, flowing out of a volcano, and cooling.

Explain the advantages to a plant of having its cell membranes surrounded by cell walls
QveST [7]
Plant cell walls are rigid membranes on the outermost part of the cell. The cell wall provides a structured shape for the cell, helping the cell retain its form and shape. The cell wall also controls the rate of replication, allowing plant cells to replicate at a much slower rate than animal cells.
