A) A textbook definition would be that genetic drift is: a random change in allele frequency caused by a series of chance occurences that cause an allele to become more or less common in a population. In layman's terms, this means that genetic drift happens when luck makes the genetic pool of the population to deviate from what is expected.
B) The cause for this genetic drift is the aformentioned couple. Because amish communities are small and they select partners from their community, having even a couple of carriers of alleles in a community can make the allele freuency much larger than expected; for example, if the community was 100 persons, the percentage would be in the order of 1%, still much larger than the general population. Thus, the cause here is that a small population had a couple of carriers.
C) Sexual reproduction leads to a mixing of alleles from both mother and father and helps diversity. When a population is isolated, the gene pool is fixed and no new genes can come in, reducing diversity. Also some people that have an allele might die, hitting diversity even more. Finally, having a small population creates a strong pressure in some circumstances that leads to elimination of some traits and diversity.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
A toboggan is a simple sled traditionally used by children. It is well adapted to sliding down open slopes, where its large surface rides easily on loose, fluffy snow.
The structural feature in a molecule necessary for a gas to absorb IR radiation is: a net change in dipole moment due to the vibration or rotation of the molecule.
IR radiation is the infrared radiation. In the electromagnetic spectrum, its value ranges from 700 nanometers to 1 millimeter. The waves are longer than that of visible light and shorter than the radio waves. The waves are not visible to the human eye.
Dipole moment is a vector quantity. It is equal to the charge of the molecules multiplied by the distance between the two charges. In a dipole there is a positive charge at one end and a negative at the other. The direction is considered from negative to positive.
