Answer:

The statement is true: primary producers generally form the smallest trophic level of a pyramid of energy

Explanation:

Even though Primary Producers contain the largest amount of individuals in a food chain (algae, plants, zooplacton, etc) the statement is true: Primary producers generally form the smallest trophic level of a pyramid of energy.

By knowing that a Food Chain is the succession of organisms which eat one another to obtain energy, can be understood that in this order, the largest group in the lowest trophic level in the chain are the primary producers. This means that thinking about a food chain, Primary Producers are the closest to the start of the Food Chain. Then, come the hervibores which will eat the Primary Producers. Then the Carnivores and finally the Predators.

A) A textbook definition would be that genetic drift is: a random change in allele frequency caused by a series of chance occurences that cause an allele to become more or less common in a population. In layman's terms, this means that genetic drift happens when luck makes the genetic pool of the population to deviate from what is expected.
B) The cause for this genetic drift is the aformentioned couple. Because amish communities are small and they select partners from their community, having even a couple of carriers of alleles in a community can make the allele freuency much larger than expected; for example, if the community was 100 persons, the percentage would be in the order of 1%, still much larger than the general population. Thus, the cause here is that a small population had a couple of carriers.
C) Sexual reproduction leads to a mixing of alleles from both mother and father and helps diversity. When a population is isolated, the gene pool is fixed and no new genes can come in, reducing diversity. Also some people that have an allele might die, hitting diversity even more. Finally, having a small population creates a strong pressure in some circumstances that leads to elimination of some traits and diversity.
