dividuals that floated there on a log, and it has been isolated from the large (10,000 snail) mainland population ever since. The island population grew to 1000 individuals and has stayed consistent for some time. A team of researchers compared the genetic variation of the mainland and the isolated island populations for a few generations after colonization. Are the following four statements true or false?
1) Genetic drift is more pronounced in the island population than the mainland population in these first few generations.
A. True
B. False
2) The biologists observed genetic drift but not evolution.
A. True
B. False
3) The island population likely has more alleles-that is versions of genes-than the mainland population.

What part of the body is not working as it should when you have asthma
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

The Lungs

Explanation:

Asthma is a lung disease that affects your airways. With asthma, the lining of your airways is constantly hypersensitive, resulting in redness and swelling (inflammation). It's similar to how sunburned skin turns red, irritated, and sensitive. The airways become hypersensitive to things you are exposed to on a daily basis, or asthma "triggers." a trigger could be a common cold, stress, changes in the weather, or environmental factors like dust, chemicals, smoke, or pet dander.

Airway remodeling can occur as a result of poor asthma management. When asthma is untreated or poorly managed, it can lead to airway remodeling, which is a serious condition. The lungs become scarred, asthma medications become less effective, and less air can pass through your airways. It is not necessary to remodel the airways.

Hope this helps and if it does, don't be afraid to give my answer a "Thanks" and maybe a Brainliest if it's correct?
