Answer:

Founder effect

Explanation:

Genetic drift is the process of change in allele frequency in a population because of chance increase or decrease in number of particular alleles in that population. It can be caused due to may reasons like founder effect, bottleneck effect etc.

Founder effect is a phenomena where a small group of individuals migrate from the original population to some other area and start a new population. The new population will all result from this small founder population. So if by chance some alleles were present more in the founder population, the new population will also show high frequency for it. As a result the allele frequencies in the new population can differ from the original first population.

Here, the Amish population in North America was settled by a small number of immigrants from Europe. Among those immigrants many had alleles for genetic dwarfism. So when this small population grew in America, genetic dwarfism also became prevalent in them.

HELP PLEASE DUE SOON
Aleks [24]

Answer:

Adding a lake near any town will most likely increase rainfall because of the added water, and water vapor levels will also increase. Because of the excess water in the environment, more water will be found in the surrounding atmosphere (the same reason precipitation will increase in the area.)

A group of students wants to study the structures of animals in the desert. One question they should ask is-
Brrunno [24]

From studies and research, I believe the proper question would be:

"How do the animals satisfy their need for water?" or "How long do the animals live?"

Explanation 1:

When studying the desert, asking "Can you buy the animals in pet stores?" is not going to help you find information about the desert because it is not a question to get information about the desert, only information if you just buy it at your local pet shop.

Explanation 2:

Asking "How many offspring do the animals have?" does help us learn about animals, but we are trying to find information on the structure of the desert in which the animals live in. We are not looking for how many children the animals will have because it doesn't fully relate to the question we would be asking.

Side Note: Offsprings mean children.

In sexual reproduction how do the offspring compare to the parents
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
Well, if you want to get scientific about it, when two people have a kid, parts of what make them who they are go to that child, and the kid becomes a part of the parents. Basically, they have similar DNA. 
 A non scientific description of that would be they all have similar personalities because the mom and dad passed on some of them to the child. The child would be most alike to their parents by the subconscious actions they take, for example: how they take a shower. For kids who have step parents (me being one), if they grew up with that parent, they eventually adopt things the parent find interests in. Basically, the answer is in the subconscious actions they take and their personalities. <span />
