The Afrikaners are an example of a founder effect that occurs when  population and the random decrease in genetic variation is an example of genetic drift.

Explanation:

When some individuals from a population move to form a new colony, this phenomenon is called founder effect as in case of Afrikaners. The small population or group of individuals forming a new colony may not exhibit the full genetic diversity of the population they were once the part.

The alleles would get expressed in different frequencies than it would have in original population.

There are chances that some alleles are lost or missing also. The new colony formed has small population so chances of genetic drift are very strong.

Genetic drift does not depend upon the benefit or harmful effect of the alleles as it occurs merely by chance sampling. The small population of Afrikaners felt the effect of genetic variation hence strong genetic drift is seen in them.

What are the effects of animal cells placed in a hypotonic and isotonic solutions? What about plant cells placed in those soluti
AfilCa [17]
Hypotonic solution means a solution with a higher water potential than the cell
isotonic is the solution with the same amount of water potential with the cell
in animal cell, it only has a semi permeable membrane, therefore when put in hypotonic solution, water molecules will move from the solution to inside the cell by osmosis. the cell may gain so much water that it may burst
in isotonic solution, the net movement of water molecules will be same in each direction , as the water potential is same. that way the cell will not gain or loss water and remain it oiriginals shape
however in plant cells, it has a cell wall. it prevents the cell from bursting. so when put in hypotonic, the cell gain water,but not burst, the cell membrane just push against the cell wall and the cell become turgid
in isotonic solution, same animal cell , no change
