Answer:

bottleneck effect

Explanation:

The bottleneck effect is an evolutionary event in which population size is radically reduced, usually due to a catastrophic event.

This effect occurs when sudden changes in the environment, such as natural disasters and habitat fragmentation, reduce the size of a population and hence genetic diversity. An example of this effect is what happened to the prairie grouse, a bird that lived on the grasslands of the state of Illinois, in the United States. The conversion of grasslands to crops and pastures throughout the nineteenth century drastically reduced their populations to less than 50 individuals in 1993. This also reduced genetic diversity and led to increased frequency of deleterious genes. Thus, compared to other populations of the species, egg hatching rates in Illinois capercaillie populations were much lower, below 50%.

What is the structure of mitochondrion, cell wall, cell membrane, and the nucleus

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

The mitochondria are called the powerhouses of the cell, where ATP is produced. It is composed of an inner membrane called cristae, and an outer membrane that covers the organelle.

The cell wall is a rigid structure made from(in the case of plant cells rather than bacteria or fungi) cellulose and other rigid fibers.

The cell membrane is a fluid, thinner structure made up of a double layer of phospholipids which are comprised of the hydrophilic heads facing outwards and hydrophobic tails facing toward each other in the layer.

The nucleus has protons, and neutrons that are contained within it, and electrons around it.

<h2>Evolutionary analysis of organisms</h2>

Explanation:

Some organisms, which were characterized together determined to genetically very different .
Using the analysis of RNA developed by Carl Woese, scientists are now able to classify the human evolution
living things based on genetic information instead of expressed characteristics.
Genetic information is more specific and can give clues as to the evolutionary ancestry of organisms.
That is the reason adding of various domains in previous system of classification is allowed for a comparison of species genetic code
