Concept introduction:
Organisms are classified into different taxa or groups based on their genetic data or morphology. A taxon is a single or a group of organisms that are placed in one category. Earlier, biologists placed the organism into the five kingdom system. These are Monera, Protista, Plantae,

- From the 1700s to the early 1950s there was an unusually high percentage of deaf people on the island of Martha’s Vineyard off the coast of Massachusetts, USA.Deafness was a recessive hereditary trait, and there was a very small population of people living on the island. This meant that almost everyone had both deaf and hearing siblings. In the mid-1850s, the frequency of deaf people on the island was well over 30% higher than the U.S. national average.The high frequency of deaf individuals on the island of Martha’s Vineyard is best explained by Select one: a. genetic drift b. founder effect c. non-random mating d. bottleneck effectarrow_forwardIn genetics, what does the term population mean?
