Answer:

The correct answer will be option- E

Explanation:

The founder effect is the effect observed on the gene pool when a new isolated population is founded by the individuals migrated from the larger population. After migration, they inbred among them which changes the genetic pool of the small population.

In the given question since the population of the small town remained isolated from the American population and inbred among them, therefore, changed the genetic pool of the population.  

Thus, the founder effect is the correct answer.

While traveling through the rain forest of Peru, you are introduced to a rare and exotic plant. You discover that it contains a
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is statement A.

Explanation:

Glucose, NaCl, NaHCO3, amino acids, and other organic molecules are reabsorbed through a particular transport system in the early proximal tubule known as a proximal convoluted tubule. The prime function of the proximal convoluted tubule is to perform selective reabsorption of water, glucose, peptides, and other nutrients from the tubule back into the blood.  

Thus, if the toxic possesses the tendency to prevent the reabsorption of sodium ions then it will also possess the tendency to prevent the reabsorption of glucose by the proximal convoluted tubule.
