All northern elephant seals come from a very small genetic pool. This is because in the 1890s a large number of them were very q

uickly killed until their population size was reduced to only about 20 individuals. Though their population has since increased to over 30,000 individuals, all their genes have come from those 20 individuals. Which of the following population genetic concepts does this example represent?
a. the founder effect
b. the bottleneck effect
c. the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
d. genetic drift

Answer:

b. the bottleneck effect.

Explanation:

The bottleneck effect occurs when a population's size is reduced for at least one generation. This will result in a very reduced genetic variation, which can lead to further adaptation problems.

The Founder effect has its similarities (in terms of the resulting reduced genetic pool) with the bottleneck effect, BUT it occurs when a new colony is started by a few members of the original population.

The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is a principle in population genetics that states that the genetic variation in a population will remain constant from one generation to the next IF certain conditions are present (no migration, aleatory mating, among others), so this is not the answer.

Genetic drift (refers to the change in the frequency of an existing gene variant in a population due to random sampling of organisms, so it is not the answer.

<span> Before agriculture was developed people mostly were nomadic in nature. They moved from place to place in search of food. Some of them were groups of hunter gatherers as well. When agriculture started people also started to settle down in groups. This led to the development of civilization and in modern day cities and towns. The first agricultural practices were started beside the river banks due to the reason that the soil was very fertile and water for irrigation was also easily available. </span>

The diastolic blood pressure represents the?
Nesterboy [21]

The diastolic pressure refers the  two values are recorded during the measurement of blood pressure.It is the number or the bottom number indicates the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats.

Less then 80 are the normal diastolic blood pressure. Prehypertension which is indicaated by the blood pressure between 80 to 90. The first, systolic pressure, which represents the peak arterial pressure during systole. The second, that represent minimum arterial pressure during diastole.

the force the heart exerts on the walls of the arteries in between beats can be easily measured by the diastolic blood pressure .Diastolic blood pressure is mainly determined by the total arterial peripheral resistance which majorly influence  Arterial elastance and compliance.

How do pseudostratified ciliated columbar epithelium and transitional epithelium differ from other types of epithelia
yawa3891 [41]
Generally, epithelial cells serve the function of protection of the inner layers of the structure they are on. The fact that these columbar epithelium and transitional epithelium cells have smooth walls and are dome shaped allows them to stretch. This stretching helps the bladder retain more urine than it would be able to if the epithelial cells were rigid.
