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.

When a soccer ball is in flight, what forces are acting on it?
jeka94

Answer:

Force applied on the ball when it is kicked, gravitation pull and frictional force

Explanation:

When the ball is kicked it starts accelerating, the moment when it leaves the foot acceleration starts decreasing. Here two more forces start acting on it, one is friction force caused by wind and second is tradition pull of the earth. Both these forces slow down the motion of a soccer ball and it slows down and stops.

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

D. It can function independently

Explanation:

A. Not a haploid, the daughter cell is going to be a diploid cell, because it is a body cell, not a sex cell; they are suppose to have the same amount of chromosomes as the parent cells.

B. It will go through cytokineses ( last step of the mitosis) the cells will not be connected to parent cell and is independent (D)

C. Inside the chromosomes, no matter it is a haploid or diploid cell, it will contain DNA.  

D. After going through the cell cycle, the new daughter cell produced will be a new individual and do not connect to other cells.
