How do the founder effect and bottlenecking differ? Bottlenecks and founder effects. Genetic drift can cause big losses of genetic variation for small populations. Population bottlenecks occur when a population’s size is reduced for at least one generation. A founder effect occurs when a new colony is started by a few members of the original […]

Is oil a good energy source? Oil is particularly useful as a fuel because of its high energy density. As previously mentioned, the original energy source of oil is the Sun, as the energy stored within dead organic matter is what creates crude oil over time. Why is oil a bad energy source? Burning Fossil […]

What is the first step in achieving personal development? The first step to personal development is accountability. You must first be held responsible for all your actions or inactions. You must step up and finally admit what it is that is holding you back from developing into the person you want to become. What can […]

Are globular clusters in the Milky Way? Globular star clusters are known to be located mostly in the great spherical halo of the Milky Way. Spiral galaxies like our Milky Way contain stars, gas and dust, mostly organized into a flat disk containing the spiral arms, but with the addition of a more rounded bulge […]

What is the formula to find the mass? Determine mass with force and acceleration. Newton’s second law of motion states that force equals mass times acceleration: F = ma. If you know the net force on the object, and it’s acceleration, you can rearrange this formula to find the mass: m = F / a. […]

What are the 3 schools of psychology? The following are some of the major schools of thought that have influenced our knowledge and understanding of psychology: Structuralism and Functionalism: Early Schools of Thought. Gestalt Psychology. The Behaviorist School of Thought in Psychology. The Psychoanalytic School of Thought. The Humanistic School of Thought. What are the […]

What is a magnetic field how can the direction? the magnetic fields are the imaginary line which moves from south to north. this lines do not overlap each other. we can find the direction of the magnetic field lines by keeping a compass near to it. Why do 2 magnets repel or attract each other? […]

What is the highest form of intimacy? Level five is the highest level of intimacy. It is the level where we are known at the deepest core of who we are. Because of that, it is the level that requires the greatest amount of trust. Is kissing considered intimacy? Kisses that move the earth (or […]

Which layer is closest to space? Layers of Earth’s Atmosphere exosphere—contains few particles that move into and from space. exobase—the lower boundary of the exosphere. thermosphere—temperature increases with height. The International Space Station orbits Earth in this layer. mesopause—the boundary between the mesosphere and the thermosphere; the coldest place on Earth. What layer are satellites? […]

Is water displacement dependent on mass? The concept of Archimedes’ principle is that an object immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. The mass of the displaced fluid can be expressed in terms of the density and its volume, m = […]
