Use your knowledge of the founder effect to explain why
Ellis-van Creveld syndrome occurs at a higher frequency in the Amish population than
in people in America who are not Amish.

, 1. Population formed by a small
number of founders/people /30
people
2. (Founders show) less genetic
diversity / small(er) gene pool /
less variety of alleles
3. Individuals breed within group /
do not breed with outsiders
4. High(er) chance of inheriting
allele (than in non-Amish
population)
Explain the importance of cholesterol in cell membranes

Make more rigid and reduce movement of phospholipids. Prevents leakage of
water and dissolved ions as it is very hydrophobic.
