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:
As the volume of available water increases, the rate of decomposition also increases. Many decomposers secrete enzymes onto decaying matter and then absorb any dissolved molecules and sunlight allows things to grow out of decomposers allowing faster decomposition from the plant absorbing the other nutrients from the things in the decomposer making the soil rich and fertile.
Answer:
The correct answer is - stones.
Explanation:
Kidney stones are medically called renal calculi or urolithiasis. These are normally hard and very small minerals and salts made stones that deposites inside your kidneys. Kidney stones can be formed due to several reasons such as an unhealthy diet with higher salt, soda, and sugar constituents, high dose of minerals, dehydration, or less drinking water
To decrease the risk of forming kidney stones or if one is experiencing kidney stone should drink enough water which helps to remove formed or forming deposits of minerals.
