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:

Broad-spectrum antibiotics can cause antibiotic resistance.

Explanation:

Antibiotics are the substances that inhibit the growth of or kill the bacteria and hence, these are used as medications for the treatment of a lot of bacterial diseases.
These antibiotics can either be of broad-spectrum or the narrow spectrum.
The broad-spectrum antibiotics are the ones that are effective against a variety of bacteria, both gram-positive and negative whereas the narrow-spectrum antibiotics are the ones that target only a specific type of bacteria.
Since the bacteria can mutate very fast and hence, develop antibiotic resistance, the doctors usually avoid prescribing broad-spectrum antibiotics and only use them when the causal bacteria is completely unknown.
Hence, in the given case the provider prescribes separate medications for both types of bacteria.

likoan [24]

Answer:

C) the three-base sequence of mRNA

Explanation:

Three-base sequence of mRNA is called codon. One codon specifies a single amino acid. There are 64 codons in eukaryotic cells and three of them are stop codons (non-coding).

tRNA have three-base sequence called anticodon which is complementary to specific codon. During the process of translation codon and anticodon are paired which leads to addition of amino acid to growing polypeptide chain. Newly added amino acid is carried by tRNA.
