A small group of squirrels gets separated from the rest of the population due to a large flood. These squirrels, now confined to this new island, begin to start a new population. This is an example of which of the following?

a. bottleneck
b. mutation
c. founder effect
d. None of these examples are correct.

c. founder effect

Explanation:

The founder effect occurs when there is a loss or reduction of genetic variation when a new population is produced or established by a few number of individuals from a large population. In other words, a new colony is formed from a large population. This could result to differences in phenotype ad genotype of the new population from the original population.

The gene pool of the new population is also affected. The small group of squirrels that separated from the the large population during the flood to form a new population, is an example of founder effect.

answer; i believe is(b)converging

water is a polar molecule. a chemical bond is a force of attraction between atoms or ions. bonds form when atoms share or transfer valence electrons. atoms form chemical bonds to achieve a full outer energy level, which is the most stable arrangement of electrons. so, false

explanation:

in h2o molecule, two water molecules are bonded by a hydrogen bond but the bond between two h - o bonds within a water molecule are covalent. the greater the electronegativity difference, the more ionic the bond is. bonds that are partly ionic are called polar covalent bonds. nonpolar covalent bonds, with equal sharing of the bond electrons, arise when the electronegativities of the two atoms are equal.
