Answer:

Founder effect

Explanation:

  • Founder effect occurs when a small number of individuals move out from a larger population and then develop a new population in an isolated place such that it leads to a decreased genetic diversity in the population established by a fewer individuals.
  • As a result of the founder effect the genetic diversity is reduced in the descendants of the founder population which leads to an increase in the probability of having a genetic disorder.
  • Therefore, since the mice being blind due to a genetic defect escape from the laboratory and breeds then the subsequent generations will most likely be blind from birth as a result of founder effect.

What is missing from the ecosystem during primary succession
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

competition

Explanation:

After an ecosystem has been destroyed because of certain catastrophe and all of the space that it occupied is totally cleared and open for overtaking, the primary succession comes in action. When the primary succession occurs, there's no competition, as pretty much everything has been destroyed from the previously existing ecosystem. The pioneers of the primary succession are organisms that do not require a lot to prosper, such as the mosses and lichens. As they start to cover the barren land, little by little they manage to change the composition of the rocks, thus resulting in the formation of the first soils. As that happens, the secondary succession comes on the horizon as now it has conditions for it, so the species from it overtake and replace the species form the primary succession.
