Answer: Valves in the veins

Explanation: The flow of the blood inside the body takes place through the veins and arteries. The oxygenated blood from the heart is supplied to the different parts of the body.

The blood flows from the capillaries to the venules and from there to the veins. The blood moves in the veins by the rhythmic movement of the smooth muscles in the body.

Most of the blood moves against the gravity so there is a chance that it can backflow so to prevent this there are valves in the veins known as one way valves.

NNADVOKAT [17]
The mechanism that affected the gene pool of the immigrants that entered the United states Through Ellis Island is Gene flow.

Gene flow involves the movement of genes or alleles between interbreeding populations of a particular species. In other words it is the movement of genes from one population to another population. Actually it may be an important aspect of evolution; evolution can occur as a result of genes being transferred from one population to another. Gene flow occurs when there is migration, since the loss or addition of people can easily change pool frequencies even without no other evolutionary mechanisms operating.
