Answer: small groups of individuals leave their home population and establish new settlements, mating only among themselves.

Explanation:

The founder effect is what happens when a small group of individuals leave their home population in order to establish new settlements. They will then mate only amongst themselves and colonize the area without mixing with the natives.

As a result of the founder effect, there is less genetic variation in the new population than in the home one because the smaller number of individuals who left would not possibly be able to carry all the genes in the home population. The only genes that would be passed on are those of the small individuals.

Blizzard [7]

Answer: alternative A.

Explanation: In this case, we will consider people that already have had a heart attack. In this specific group of 1,000 people, 236 exercised regularly and had gone through this situation.

We can infer that 23.6% of people who exercised regularly have experienced that by dividing 236/1,000= 0.236= 23.6%.

If 236 people exercised, 1,000-236=764 didn't exercise regularly prior to their heart attacks, so 74.6% were considered to be sedentary.

If there's 0.236 chance out of 1 to exercise and still have a heart attack compared to 0.764 out of 1 to be sedentary and have the same experience, we can divide both ratios to compare them, so 0.236/0.764= 0.3089.

Alternative A claims that people who exercise have around 0.5 chance of having heart attacks compared to people who don't. Since our ratio resulted in 0.3089, we consider this number the closest to 0.5. Alternative <u>B is absurd because in order for people who exercise to have 2x the risk compared to people who don't, the number of people who exercised and went through that must be 2x bigger than people who didn't</u>. Alternative <u>C doesn't apply as well, because we already verified that the chance people who exercise have a heart attack equal to 23,6%. </u>

musickatia [10]
Im not really sure about the water, other than the trees wouldn't be absorbing it so there would be extra? But a huge amount of trees like that produce a lot of oxygen, so there would not be less oxygen in the environment. Hope this helps!
