Answer;

B. an increase in inbreeding

Explanation;

The Bottleneck Effect occurs when there is a disaster of some sort that reduces a population to a small handful, which rarely represents the actual genetic makeup of the initial population. This leaves smaller variation among the surviving individuals.

A population bottleneck is an event that drastically reduces the size of a population. The bottleneck may be caused by various events, such as an environmental disaster, the hunting of a species to the point of extinction, or habitat destruction that results in the deaths of organisms.

the genetic bottleneck can lead to inbreeding depression; the reduction of the population's fitness due to an increased likelihood of breeding between relatives that share deleterious genetic variants.

Skin color in a certain species of fish is inherited via a single gene with four different alleles.
tino4ka555 [31]
The answer is D) 1/2.

If each allele confers a unit of color darkness, then only genotypes S2S3 and S1S4 will have 5 units of color darkness because in genotype S2S3 S2 will have 2 units, and S3 will have 3 units, which is 5 units in total. The similar math is for <span>genotypes S1S4.
</span>
Now, let's cross S1S3 and S2S4:
Parents:          S1S3      x     S2S4
Offspring:  S1S2    S1S4     S2S3     S3S4

The offspring with genotype S1S2 will have 3 units of color darkness. The offspring with genotype S1S4 will have 5 units, as well as the offspring with genotype S2S3. The <span>offspring with genotype S3S4 will have 7 units.
It can be assumed that only 2 genotypes out of 4 will have 5 units:
2/4 = 1/2.</span>

postnew [5]

Answer:

5- action potential 6- receptors 7- calcium ions 8- sarcolemma

Explanation:

This description illustrates the pathway of a action potential traveling along a neuro-muscular junction. this functions as a chemical synapse between a motor neuron and a muscle fibre. It allow the motor neuron to transmit a signal/action potential to the muscle fiber, causing muscle contraction.

<span>Connective tissue supports the framework of the liver, and epithelial tissue protects the liver. Connective tissue holds the liver in place during movement, and epithelial tissue forms the lining of the liver. Connective tissues are mainly used in forming support networks within tissues and Epithelial tissue tend to line the organs and form protective cell layers.</span>
