en see a higher prevalence of some rare diseases in these new founder populations? When a small number of individuals moved to the United States from Germany, they established an Amish population. Why do you often see a higher prevalence of some rare diseases in these new founder populations? Higher mutation rate in the new population. Alleles that are rare in the ancestral population (Germany) become common in the new population by random chance. Natural selection favors disease causing mutations in the new population. Negative assortative mating in the new population.

Answer:

Alleles that are rare in the ancestral population (Germany) become common in the new population by random chance.

Explanation:

The founder effect is the change in the allele frequencies of a population by a chance event when a small group of individuals migrate from the large original population and colonize a new region. The gene pool of the Amish population is quite different from the original population as the colonizing individuals did not carry all the alleles and genes present in the original population.

The founder effect results in the expression of harmful recessive alleles that were otherwise masked in the heterozygous genotype of the original large population. Small colonizing population exhibits increased homozygosity and reduced genetic variations leading to the expression of rare diseases that were masked by heterozygosity in the large parent population.

olasank [31]

Answer:

Change occur in form and structure of the cell.

Explanation:

The structure and shape of the cell change because the function of leg is different from the lungs. In the lungs the epithelial lung cell is responsible for the detection and protection of the cells against pathogen while on the other hand, the leg has the function to move an individual from one place to another so due to difference in function, the cells of both regions have different shape and structure of the cell and the epithelial lung cell will be changed into a leg muscle cell.

charle [14.2K]
The correct answer is "they allow traffic to proceed at the speed limit".

First of all, letter B is incorrect as the main function of the speed humps is not to bring harm to the motorists but to ensure the safety of the flow of the traffic. Letter A is correct as speed humps makes the motorists slow down on purpose for the traffic to proceed at a certain speed limit.

Two similarities between the way<br> that a fungus feeds, and the way that<br> you feed.
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Humans and fungi have a few similarities and a few differences.

Human's and fungi have similar feeding habits.

1- They are both heterotrophic (unlike plants, algae, etc. )

This refers to the fact of generating energy by consuming elements in the ecosystems.

This means that both get energy by feeding on other organisms.

2-Humans and fungi both cannot produce their own food using photosynthesis. They are not like plants.
