The bottleneck effect is used to describe an event where a population decreases. One example involves the northern elephant seal

. They have a reduced genetic variation due to a population bottleneck humans inflicted on them in the 1890s. Hunting reduced their population size to as few as 20 individuals at the end of the 19th century. Their population has since rebounded to over 30,000, but they have much less genetic variation than a population of southern elephant seals that was not so intensely hunted. Which phrase best explains this change if gene frequency?

Genetic drift  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the best phrase to describe this would be Founder effects. Founder effects occurs when a new colony is started by a few members of the original population. This small population size means that the colony may have; a non-random sample of genes in the original population. Reduced variation from the original population.. According to Bottlenecks and founder effects, genetic drift can cause big losses of genetic variation for small populations.

fredd [130]

Answer:

Las unidades de Mendel se conocen ahora como GENES

Explanation:

Durante sus experimentos, Mendel demostró que las características de las plantas de guisante (por ejemplo color de la flor, color de la semilla, forma de la semilla, altura de la planta, etcétera) eran heredadas, y denominó "elementos" a las unidades portadoras de dichas características. Es decir que cada elemento o unidad discreta, era el responsable de que la planta exprese una u otra característica. Estableció que estos elementos se redistribuían independientemente uno de otro, generación tras generación. Con el paso del tiempo y el avance de las investigaciones, estas unidades o elementos fueron denominados <em>Genes</em>.

guapka [62]
The answer is <span> b. a process of change through time.

Evolution is a process of change through time.  It does not result in progress. Natural selection, one of the mechanisms of evolution, can result in progress and </span>cause some organisms to develop characteristics they need. But generally speaking, natural selection is not the only mechanism of evolution. Other evolutionary mechanisms, such as genetic drift, mutations, migration, can in some cases have a harmful outcome.
