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.

Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart and typically have ________________ blood pressure. Veins carry deoxygenated
KatRina [158]
The correct answer is high, low.

Arteries are part of the circulatory system and are responsible for carrying blood away from the heart and around the body. The arterial blood is oxygenated and this process ensures that every tissue around the body will receive oxygen and nutrients through this blood flow.

Veins are also part of the circulatory system and are responsible for carrying the deoxygenated blood from the tissues back to the heart.

Venous pressure is much lower than the arterial pressure. More specifically, venous pressure ranges from 5 to 8 mmHg, while arterial pressure ranges from 15 to 30 mmHg.

Explain the respiratory system of a frog and the importance of "vacularization" of the skin and the mesentery
fredd [130]

 The skin is composed of thin membranous tissue that is quite permeable to water and contains a large network of blood vessels. The thin membranous skin is allows the respiratory gases to readily diffuse directly down their gradients between the blood vessels and the surroundings. When the frog is out of the water, mucus glands in the skin keep the frog moist, which helps absorb dissolved oxygen from the air.

A frog may also breathe much like a human, by taking air in through their nostrils and down into their lungs. The mechanism of taking air into the lungs is however sligthly different than in humans. Frogs do not have ribs nor a diaphragm, which in humans helps serve in expand the chest and thereby decreasing the pressure in the lungs allowing outside air to flow in.

In order to draw air into its mouth the frog lowers the floor of its mouth, which causes the throat to expand. Then the nostrils open allowing air to enter the enlarged mouth. The nostrils then close and the air in the mouth is forced into the lungs by contraction of the floor of the mouth. To elimate the carbon dioxide in the lungs the floor of the mouth moves down, drawing the air out of the lungs and into the mouth. Finally the nostrils are opened and the floor of the mouth moved up pushing the air out of the nostrils.

Frogs also have a respiratory surface on the lining of their mouth on which gas exchange takes place readily. While at rest, this process is their predominate form of breathing, only fills the lungs occasionally. This is because the lungs, which only adults have, are poorly developed.
