Yes the following statements about her trout is likely true Because the ponds are different and the populations are likely to experience different mutations, the populations will likely diverge evolutionarily, but only over many generations.
Explanation:
The effect of genetic drift can be seen in all populations but the most is seen in small population. The change in allele frequency due to the sampling error would lead to evolution of the species.
Bottleneck effect is when a population gets reduced due to some natural disaster. Her friends were not right about bottleneck effect.
So it is clear that no bottleneck effect will occur as each pond have different chance or rate of mutation and the change in alleles will be different. The trouts will evolve independently in the different ponds and pass on the traits to their progeny.
Genetic drift does not take into account for the harm or benefit of the alleles that are passed on.
The predator numbers for the deer will start to drop, due to a lack of food available. The vegetation that deer eat will increase, due to a lack of deer to eat it & so it will thrive untamed. This may cause certain animals to thrive & increase their respective predator counts & so on.
Vasoconstriction
Definition-The blood vessels under your skin become narrower. This decreases blood flow to your skin, retaining heat near the warm inner body.
