Answer:

The correct answer is- founder effect  

Explanation:

Founder effect occurs when a small number of individual isolates from the majority of the population by natural calamity or any other region. These isolated individuals show less genetic diversity than the larger population because they are less in numbers.  

Therefore founder effect makes a small group of individuals isolate from a bigger population and make them occupy a different habitat. So a founder population can go on a newly developed island and start reproducing there.

A founder population over time converts into a new species because of reproductive isolation from the main population.  So the evolution of life on the island of Hawaii should have been most strongly influenced by founder effect.

Regarding horizontal gene transfer between bacteria by conjugation, transduction, or transformation:
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Distinct mechanisms are used by bacteria in order to transfer the gene from one bacteria to another. These are transformation, transduction, and conjugation. Transformation refers to the process of uptaking extracellular DNA by the recipient of the other bacterial cell.  

In the process of transduction, the donor DNA gets packed within the bacteriophage and infects the recipient bacteria. In the process of conjugation, the genetic substance is transferred by the donor bacteria to the recipient via the process of mating.  

a. Of all these three mechanisms, transformation is the process that exhibits a broad range and can be easily performed in the lab. As in the process, there is a slight chance of rejection or failure due to direct compatibility between the bacteria.  

b. While the narrowest broad range is found in the process of conjugation, as in order to transfer the genetic substance between the two bacterial species, there should be a similarity between the two species so that they can mate and exchange the genetic substance in between them.

What is the difference between ribonucleotides and deoxyribonucleotides?
lora16 [44]

Answer:

Ribonucleotides (RNA) and deoxyribonucleotides (DNA). See more details below, please.

Explanation:

Ribonucleotides are the nucleotides of the RNA (they have pentose, ribose and nitrogenous base, except for Thymine; they contain uracil). Deoxyribonucleotides are the nucleotides of DNA (they have pentose, deoxyribose and nitrogenous base, they have Thymine).

The thing that would mostly make the results of the experiment invalid would be the students themselves. No one is built the same, and the exact same food can have very different effects on different people.
