Answer:

Founder effect.

Explanation:

Founder effect is a case of genetic loss due to an event in which a small subset of individuals of a population becomes isolated from a larger population. As the problem states, this population will never represent the diversity existing in the original larger population, and without the opportunity to interbred with a different population, this group will become distinct.

One of the reported outcomes of the founder effect is the explanation of the higher prevalence of some genetic disorders in specific populations.

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

<em>Goofy is blocking the way with 15 N force and Donald was only able to knock Goofy off using a 20 N force. The net force would be the difference between the applied force of Donald and that of Goofy.</em>

Hence,

      20 N - 15 N = 5 N

The net force is, therefore, 5 N.
