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.

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is D)  How is the number of frogs in Massachusetts affected by pollution</em>

Explanation:

A scientific question can be described as a question which can be answered through the scientific method of research. Based on the scientific question, a hypothesis can be formulated. For example, for the option D, the hypothesis can be 'if the pollution increases, then the number of frogs decreases.' A hypothesis is a tentative statement which can be tested through experiments. Based on these experiments, results are formulated and conclusions are drawn. The question mentioned in option D can be answered through this method hence, it is the correct option.

What three (3) factors determine the reactivity of elements? Explain and give examples of each.
Ivenika [448]

Three factors that determine the reactivity of elements are the valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost electron shell of an atom. The number of electrons in an atom's outermost valence shell governs its bonding behaviour. That is why in periodic table the elements were put together according to their numbers of valence electrons.

METALS

The most reactive kind of metallic element is a metal from Group 1 sodium or potassium.

An atom in Group 1 has only one valence electron.

NON-METALS

A nonmetal tends to attract another valence electrons to attain a full valence shell.
