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>

I need help, I don't understand this, so please try to explain?
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Yeah, so basically the image is showing restriction enzymes. The job of restriction enzymes is mainly involved in research when scientists use them for cloning human genes. But that's besides the point...

Main thing you have to understand is that restriction enzymes cut at very specific places along DNA sequences. If you look at the restriction enzyme Rsa 1, you can notice that it cuts only between a thymine nucleotide base and an adenine nucleotide base. Next, if ya look at Sty 1 (be careful b/c W can represent adenine or thymine), it cuts only between two directly adjacent cytosine nucleotide bases!

SO.... if we go to Rsa 1, we can find the answers by dividing up the sequences between the pattern we saw in the gray box. It only cuts between adenine and thymine bases. Based on that, we can find the number of fragments created, and the segment lengths (basically just like how many nucleotide bases are in each strand). Hope ya found this helpful!

Salts and sugars work to preserve foods by creating a
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer: Hypertonic Environment

Explanation:

The salt solution and sugar solution is used for the process of food preservation as the bacteria and microorganism are not able to grow in such conditions that is being created by the solution.

The amount of the solute is more and the solution is less concentrated. The bacteria cell has less solutes and more solvent.

As per osmosis the water from the salt or sugar solution moves out from bacterial cell shrinks and dies.

This is how the bacterial cell dies and the food is prevented from spoilage.

What is the volume of a black hole?
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

This value is 4*(pi)* (2Gm/c^2)^2 for nonspinning black holes, with G= Newton's constant, c= speed of light, and m= mass of the black hole. The 3-dimensional spatial volume inside a black hole, in contrast, depends explicitly on the definition of time, and can even be time dependent, or zero.

Explanation:

hope this helps
