(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.
Examples of the Bottleneck Effect. Let's take a look at some examples of the bottleneck effect in nature. Northern elephant seals were hunted until their population was reduced to 20 individuals by the end of the 19th century. They were saved from extinction, and their population is now around 30,000.
