(materials). A solvent in whose molecules there is either a permanent separation of positive and negative charges, or the centers of positive and negative charges do not coincide; these solvents have high dielectric constants, are chemically active, and form coordinate covalent bonds; examples are alcohols and ketones.1  Facebook.materials).

The bottleneck effect. The bottleneck effect is an extreme example of genetic drift that happens when the size of a population is severely reduced. Events like natural disasters (earthquakes, floods, fires) can decimate a population, killing most indviduals and leaving behind a small, random assortment of survivors.
The term bottleneck is often used in conjunction with a manufacturing facility and refers to a point in the production process where product bunches up, then slows down or stops completely. For example, if two conveyor belts merge into one, the point where they merge is the bottleneck.
