Effects of the Bottleneck and the Founders effect Cecil Smith GS102 Grantham University Online The bottleneck effect happens when something of a great devastation has happened‚ causing a great amount of people to lose their lives and leave behind very few people at the most. The bottleneck effect happens at random and can kill of a whole population and with it can also wipe out the gene pool by doing so. An example of the bottleneck effect would be something like a tsunami‚ or an earthquake‚ which

When reading the short story‚ “The Lost Salt of Blood” by Alistair MacLeod‚ I found myself enraged. A burning fury towards the main character‚ the father‚ for abandoning his child using the worn-out excuse of his son to have a “better” life. In what world is it okay to abandon the responsibility of being a father and place it on someone else when you are fully capable? The more I read‚ the more I wanted to scream. Pure anger. By the time I finished reading this short story‚ I did not understand the

Part A - Research the Salt Lake City Olympics scandal and address specific issues that link to Bigtown’s situation. Upon reading the article‚ "The Big Business of the Olympics and Bribery‚ I can identify several items that are similar to the proposed arrangement for Bigtown’s mayor. First‚ it is unfair to offer contracts for city work to companies who can bring convention business. Not all companies may be able to bring convention business to the town at this time. Unfortunately‚ this would leave

Identifying a Salt by Creating its Heating Curve Introduction: Solubility is a substance’s ability to be dissolved in a liquid‚ usually water‚ and some substances are more soluble than others. A solution can be saturated‚ unsaturated or supersaturated. Temperature plays a large role in the solubility of substances. For example‚ on table G of the Chemistry reference tables it shows that 10g of KClO3 will dissolve in 100g of water at about 25°C‚ but at about 48°C‚ 20g will dissolve. The higher the

General Chemistry II Lab (CHEM 1106) Determination of the Solubility Product Constant of a Salt Date Performed: March 1‚ 2011 INTRODUCTION If solid KHC4H4O6 is added to a beaker of water‚ the salt will begin to dissolve. The amount of solid diminishes‚ and the concentrations of K+(aq) and HC4H4O6-(aq) in the solution increase. When no KHC4H4O6 dissolves‚ the concentrations of K+(aq) and HC4H4O6-(aq) will not increase further and any additional KHC4H4O6 added after this point will remain

EFFECTS OF WATER SOLUTIONS IN PLANT GROWTH CHAPTER I Introduction Plants are affected by different substances that come into contact with them. These effects may be good or bad. There are certain substances such as fertilizers‚ which have a positive effect on the growth of certain plants‚ more specifically pechay (Brassica rapa variety chinensis). Pechay is commonly used in cooking in Filipino households. It requires little attention as it is a very hardy plant. It is rich in vitamins A‚

Salt Saturation & How it Affects Salt Crystal Size 12/07/11 Research Question: How does the saturation of water affect the size of the salt crystals? This project was chosen because it was intriguing and to find out if more salt equals bigger crystals. Hypothesis: If the water is more saturated then the salt crystals will be bigger. The Independent Variable is the amount of salt in the water. The Dependent Variable is the size of the salt

chemical reaction does different types of salt have on the ice. Salt melts ice mainly because adding salt lowers the freezing point of the water. Pure water freezes at 32°F (0°C). Water with salt (or any other substance in it) will freeze at some lower temperature. The normal freezing point of water is 0 degrees Celsius‚ so if the temperature is above that then ice will melt. When salt and water are mixed together‚ the salt dissolves‚ which means the salt breaks into small particles that thoroughly

Subject: Chemistry SL Title: Preparation of a salt (lead iodide) by using precipitation method. Aim: To produce 1.50 g of lead iodide‚ PbI2‚ assuming 100 % conversion‚ using 1.00 g solid potassium iodide‚ KI‚ and 0.1 M lead nitrate‚ Pb(NO3)2 solution of volume 30 cm3 and hence calculate percentage yield. Calculations: 2KI(s) + Pb(NO3)2( aq) —> PbI2 (s) + 2KNO3 (aq) Mass of PbI2 to be produced = 1.5 g Moles of PbI2 = = 0.003 Moles of KI = 0.003*2 = 0.006 Mass of KI = 0.006*166 = 1.00 g
