Within the Amish community is an unusually high frequency of the gene that causes polydactylism (having six digits on one or more hand or foot).

Similar example but tells reasoning For example, the Afrikaner population of Dutch settlers in South Africa is descended mainly from a few colonists. Today, the Afrikaner population has an unusually high frequency of the gene that causes Huntington’s disease, because those original Dutch colonists just happened to carry that gene with unusually high frequency. This effect is easy to recognize in genetic diseases, but of course, the frequencies of all sorts of genes are affected by founder events. yeah i agree with you

OpenStudy (18jonea):

so b?

OpenStudy (somy):
