Founder effect

asking why and then asking why again until all the pieces fit together to tell the story. In the scenario for this task, a patient died because there where causative factors and errors that took place. A cause and effect or fishbone diagram would be useful in…

PDHPE 1) Debate the issue raised in “That Sugar Movie” that excess sugar consumption is to blame for the increasing obesity rate. Many people are claiming that excess sugar creating a ‘bad’ diet is more dangerous then alcohol, inactivity and smoking. In fact, studies have shown that an unhealthy diet consisting of lots of sugar causes more disease then all three of the previously mentioned components combined. (Group, 2017) There is much more evidence to support the fact that sugar is a huge…

There are two types of effects that heavy drinking can cause: short term and long term (Long Term and Short Term Effects of Alcohol, 2006). Some of the short term effects include impaired judgement, slurred speech, blurred vision, headaches, memory lapses, and several others (Long Term and Short Term Effects of Alcohol, 2006). These things can all lead to decisions that can affect personal relationships, work performance, and other aspects of life. Some long term effects of binge drinking are:…

There are many similarities and differences between the movie, “Charly,” and the book, “Flowers For Algernon,” by Daniel Keys, including the fact that Charlie Gordon was teased by his friends in both formats, there were different founders of the Algernon-Gordon Effect, and there were drastically different endings to the story. The first similarity between the movie and the book is Charlie was laughed at by his friends in both formats. In the book, Charlie’s friends left him in the bar and…

extraordinary alleles and a decline in the gene pool. Genetic drift can bring about a brand new population to be naturally different from its primary population. Two significant illustrations of genetic drift are the bottleneck effect and the founder event. An example of the founder effect is a small container having four assorted colors of vitamins: black,…

random and unpredictable phenomena, like, the chance that sperm and eggs may encounter, in the case of sexual reproduction. The effects of genetic drift are all the more important as the population is small, because the deviations from the allele frequencies there will be more noticeable. This situation can occur with the appearance of a species, or after a bottleneck effect (when much of a species has disappeared, following epidemic phenomena or a climate crisis or disaster by example). Genetic…

When Thomas Jefferson and the founders were framing the newly formed nation they saw a very different direction of what the United States was to become. For the founders, republicanism was deeply rooted on the principle of "the people" sovereignty and not the abusive aristocratic monarchy used in colonial times. However, with social and economic changes republicanism slowly morphed into an idea that was to modernize with the changing American rhetoric. This sudden change in Republicanism would…

The founder effect offers a potential explanation for the significantly higher observed heterozygosity of the Collins Creek over the pond Redbelly Dace populations. The migration of the fish to the isolated pond could have been accomplished through an anomalous transport of eggs on waterfowl or other animals travelling between the two water bodies; the small group of migrants would in turn be genetically unrepresentative of the original creek population. The disequilibrium of the Hardy-Weinberg…

has changed drastically since the Founders. The Founders associated marriage, specifically a stable one, with the sustainability of the family. Today marriage is less common, it happens later in life, and more of them end in divorce. Living together outside of wedlock was once prohibited, but now it is almost expected. These changes in views of marriage and the family are for the worse; they negatively affect the family, the children, and the community. The Founders’ view of marriage and the…
