The Amish population who migrated from Europe to the United States had very few individuals in their population. Additionally, t

heir gene pool shows very few alleles due to inbreeding. A genetic trait called polydactyly (having six fingers), which is rare in other populations, is common amongst them.What kind of evolutionary effect is exhibited in this example?
a.mutation
b.natural selection
c.founder effect

The kind of evolutionary effect that has been described in the statement in question is Founder effect. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the last option or option "c". The Founder effect is actually a reduction in genetic diversity that results from a population that descends from a small number of colonizing ancestors.

Hope I helped :)

Angiosperms, flowering plants, and gymnosperms, cone-bearing plants, reproduce using egg, sperm, and produce seeds. In gymnosper
Mnenie [13.5K]

The most common way these trees undergo pollination is through seeds and pollen.

The pollination is done with help of wind and birds where pollen transform from one plant to another.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The plants that undergoes pollination process through the seeds that are present in it are called as Angiosperms. These contains fruits. The seeds are usually present inside these fruits. Flowering plants are also called as Angiosperms.

These fruits and flowers are absent in gymnosperm. Even then they contain seeds inside the leaves surface. They will undergo pollination with these naked seeds. It is the fruits, flowers and the endosperm that are present in the seeds that help us to find difference between these two.  The only common thing that exists between these two are seeds and pollen with which they pollinate.

In gymnosperms, pollen is transferred from male cone to female cone through wind or birds. Now, the pollen is germinated into pollen tubes and sperm for egg fertilization.

A student investigated whether ants dig more tunnels in the light or in the dark. She thought that ants used the filtered light
allsm [11]

Answer:

Please see below

Explanation:

  1. Source of light, measuring tool (the string and ruler), ant food, ant farms
  2. Whether or not the tunnels created by ants differ in length depending on the amount of light available
  3. More tunnels are dug by ants during the daylight hours
  4. The hypotheses will probably come out to be true since ants are usually hiding away from predators during the night
  5. The presence of light
  6. The length of a particular tunnel
  7. Perform a trial under normal conditions (room light)
  8. Inaccuracy or inconsistency in measurements

Why does the cell use proteasomes or lysosomes to destroy misfolded proteins or proteins that are no longer needed? Destruction
vladimir1956 [14]

      That's right, what really happens is that the cell needs a "trash can", just like we do, because sometimes, things can go wrong along the process.

      The processes that the lysosomes can be involved are quite a lot, but the main one is the protein making. Why? Well, it's simple, there's a chance of mistake in each part of a protein our cells make through all the process, and when this happens, the cell recognizes it before this protein goes outside the cell, after this recognition, some flags are put in it to mark it.

       This mark will work in a way that the protein will go into the lysosome, and in a lysosome, there are several kinds of enzymes, so this protein can be degrated into little components again, the amino acids, and these can be used again in the process of making a new one. This is the process of recycling the protein, whether it's a misfolded protein or even the ones that the body won't need it for now.
