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.
They release CO2 (just like us, when we breathe). But, when plants are photosynthesizing. They release the oxygen through the same pores that allow the CO2 to enter their leaf cells.
a) Natural selection may lead to the evolution of prezygotic reproductive isolation in organisms that already have postzygotic isolation to prevent wasted reproductive effort
Explanation:
Prezygotic reproductive isolation produces postzygotic reproductive isolation because this mechanism lead to genetic differences that impair the pairing of homologous chromosomes during meiosis.
selective breeding has changed organisms over time by paring that organism up with another organism of its kind with desirable traits. take dogs for example, through selective breeding we now have many different types of dogs with different abilities. i hope this helps
A unicellular protist is a eukaryotic cell because it has a nucleus enclosed by a membrane. Protist cannont be grouped with plants, animals or fungi. However they are still eukaryotic.
