Answer:

C

Explanation:

Biomagnification is the accumulation of toxic materials as it moves up a food web. A food web is the interlocking food chains that shows energy flow. A food chain is a single flow of energy in an ecosystem, leaving only biomass left.

Ellis-van Creveld syndrome is a form of dwarfism that is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. This particular form of dw

A) A textbook definition would be that genetic drift is: a random change in allele frequency caused by a series of chance occurences that cause an allele to become more or less common in a population. In layman's terms, this means that genetic drift happens when luck makes the genetic pool of the population to deviate from what is expected.
B) The cause for this genetic drift is the aformentioned couple. Because amish communities are small and they select partners from their community, having even a couple of carriers of alleles in a community can make the allele freuency much larger than expected; for example, if the community was 100 persons, the percentage would be in the order of 1%, still much larger than the general population. Thus, the cause here is that a small population had a couple of carriers.
C) Sexual reproduction leads to a mixing of alleles from both mother and father and helps diversity. When a population is isolated, the gene pool is fixed and no new genes can come in, reducing diversity. Also some people that have an allele might die, hitting diversity even more. Finally, having a small population creates a strong pressure in some circumstances that leads to elimination of some traits and diversity.

2. How has genetics, combined with<br> paleontology, added to our<br> understanding of evolution?
motikmotik

Answer:

To find the extinct species and their divergence of characters can be studied using molecular genetic techniques.

Explanation:

  • Paleontology is the study of ancient species and their remaining that were found millions of years ago. These species extinction can be found and manipulated to find out the origin or divergence of species from their origin
  • The samples of these species may contains their remains that help the biologist to isolate and analyze their protein or DNA. when the DNA is isolated their sequences can be generated using molecular biology techniques.
  • When the sequences are identified by advanced molecular biology techniques, the existence and similarities of different species due to their convergence or divergence can be identified.
  • By identifying the convergence or divergence the characteristics, evolutionary change in behavior, variation in appearance can be studied.
  • By using these techniques, biologist have found that <em>homo sapiens</em>  are 99% have their similarities with chimpanzee
  • Thus, using genetics in paleontology helps us to understand adaptation a species is changing according to the evolutionary changes.

The chemical substance in adult male pig's urine, which can also be found in other mammals, is called Puberty Accelerating Pheromone. It is also found in boar's saliva, and was said to be responsible in inducing early puberty in young female piglets.
