Answer:

Smaller populations have a greater chance of having one allele expressed disproportionately.

Explanation:

Genetic drift corresponds to a drastic casual alteration of the natural order, reaching the genotypic concentration of one or several species, not preliminarily involving natural selection factors, but caused by sudden events.  Such phenomenon is characterized by the occurrence of ecological catastrophes, for example: earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, floods, burnings, avalanches and other processes, affecting a large population contingent. Thus limiting the genetic content of a particular group, restricted to the prevailing individuals.

In this situation, with low variability, differentiated individuals will experience a more significant selection pressure in relation to the ascending lineage, which minimized the achievements of selection due to the high number of living individuals. In this scenario, smaller populations will have a greater chance of having a disproportionately expressed allele as the number of members is reduced. We can also see this effect if by using a coin we imagine that heads and tails are two alleles in a population and each coin toss represents one member of that population.

Two reasons why it is easy to harvest perlemoen
lianna [129]

Perlemoen is reasonably easy to take available of the ocean and do not really required huge and expensive equipment. The poachers take out millions of rands worth of Perlemoen with relatively simple and cheap equipment such as wet suites, googles and flippers. The most expensive equipment they use are their boats and vehicles. In comparison with the lucrative industry the costs of poaching are low. Perlemoen are often the smaller, younger abalone of the species that are taken because they are quite simply and easier to harvest.

 

1.       The younger perlemoen are found closer to the shoreline and often bunched together and they can get a whole whack of them at one spot.


2.       The strandlopers harvested the perlemoen from the rocks during low tide without the need for diving.
