Answer:
In the exceptionally cold winter of 1997, Lake Superior froze over between the Wisconsin mainland and Isle Royale. A pack of 8 wolves crossed the ice and reached Isle Royale, an island where they encountered a population of about a dozen wolves. It is estimated that the wolf population on Isle Royale has been isolated for over 100 years (~10 generations). The pack of 8 wolves that crossed the ice would be referred to as <u>founder population</u> and if the wolves interbreed with the island population, <u>genetic drift</u> will occur.
Explanation:
The founder effect occurs when a portion of a population (i-e the founders) separates from the old population to start a new population with different allele frequencies. Hence the pack of 8 wolves that crossed the ice would be referred to as <u>founder population</u> in the given scenario.
Genetic drift is defined as change in the allele frequencies in a population due to chance event. As in the given scenario, the pack of 8 wolves that crossed the ice, interbreed with the island population, thus change in the allelle frequency is occuring in the population , hence <u>genetic drift</u> will occur.
The reason why the large-scale convection currents occur in the atmosphere is because Earth's rotation causes air at the equator to move much faster than air at the poles.
<h3>What is convection?</h3>
This can be defined to mean the circular motion that air is made to pass through.
This causes warmer air with faster molecules to be dense as the cooler air gets to the atmosphere.

Early society Japan was isolated due to geographic isolation from the rest of the world, which basically means that due to natural barriers between other civilizations. (in this case, natural barrier of oceans since Japan is a chain of islands or an archipelago)
