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.

Which cell junctions form a barrier to the passage of materials?
kkurt [141]

Answer:

The correct answer is - tight junctions.

Explanation:

Tight junctions are one of the cell-cell junctions that make a barrier to the passage of material which is a present in epithelia. This barrier is impermeable to most of the materials with soluble molecules. This barrier is made up of the occludin and claudin proteins.

Tight epithelia have tight junctions and examples of such junctions are the distal convoluted tubule or DCT, and the collecting duct of the nephron in the kidney.

Thus, the correct answer is - tight junctions.

Do pollen grains have the same number of chromosomes as a regular plant cell?
finlep [7]

The pollen grain is actually the male gametophyte generation of seed plants. Inside the anther, pollen mother cells divide by meiosis to form pollen grains whose nuclei contain half the number of chromosomes characteristic of the parent plant.
