What is the founder effect? ​

Biology
2 answers:
Zina [86]3 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

After a calamity, like a disease, fire or floods, hits a population, it could suddenly decrease the population size. This would also cause a drastic change in allelic frequencies from that of the initial population.

The founder effect is when this small population with reduced genetic variation repopulates into a population with lower genetic variation compared to the initial population before the population bottleneck. This founder effect may lead to genetic drift in the population, high levels of inbreeding, and reduced capacity of the population to adapt to changes in the environment.

The "Nucleus" contains the genetic information of the cell in the form of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or chromosomes and thus, controls cell growth and multiplication. It is also the site of DNA replication (formation of an identical copy of DNA).

While the "Golgi apparatus", or Golgi complex, functions as a factory in which proteins received from the ER are further processed and sorted for transport to their eventual destinations: lysosomes, the plasma membrane, or secretion.
