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.

andrew11 [14]

Deconstructionism is not a component of balanced and restorative justice model.

Balanced and restorative justice is termed as the theoretical model and attempts to span tension between treatment and retribution. In this process victims takes an active role. Offenders take full responsibility for their actions.

Seize an opportunity to do right from wrong and redeem themselves before their community and before their eyes. Restorative justice focuses on helping offenders from future offences.

adell [148]
<span>We have two surfaces of nerve cell the outer and inner surface

- resting : when the outer layer ion charges more positively than the inner layer - depolarization : we have the counter part of this state
- repolarization : return to the polarization
- hyperpolarization : the inner negative ion charges will be more negative even more than the resting potential

I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and it has helped you.

xenn [34]
Copper bracelets and magnetic wristbands are used relieve pain in people with arthritis. Studies conducted on these devices show that they have no efficacy on pain or on stiffness, two of the most characteristic symptoms of arthritis. Although there is no medical data to support the efficacy of the copper bracelet, the patient is not harmed or endangered by wearing it. Therefore, the nurse should respect the fact that the patient is feeling better, but he/she should urge the patient to continue with its prescribed medication.
