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.

Answer:

B. Simple Cuboidal

Explanation:

Because the simple cuboidal epithelium consists of a single layer of cells that are as tall as they are wide. The important functions of the simple cuboidal epithelium are secretion and absorption. This epithelial type is found in the small collecting ducts of the kidneys, pancreas, and salivary glands.

the diagram shows the movement of water through a plant which two terms or phrases describe the process shown

azamat

Answer:

B. Open Stomata

C. Transpiration

Explanation:

Even though plants take up a lot of water from their roots, they lose about 95% of it to the atmosphere in the process known as Transpiration.

Transpiration is done for several reasons: it cools the plant down, it enables plants to access the nutrients in the water as the water moves along the plant and it enables gaseous exchange.

The gaseous exchange happens because carbon dioxide comes in from the same holes on the leaf that the water leaves through to the atmosphere, the open stomata.
