Explanation:

After the French and Indian War, the British Crown increased taxes to pay the enormous debts it had incurred in to win the war with France. This caused much discontent among American colonists; one common complaint of this time was "taxation without representation." The colonists felt they were carrying a too heavy burden without having the right to choose their representatives in the British Parliament or sending envoys. This is a factor leading to the Revolutionary War.

it foreshadows the theme of the paragraph and hints the topic that will be discussed in the paragraph!

genetics is the study of how dna works, the methodologies defining the new recent technologies allow scientist to have a panoramic view of the entire dna landscape, especially how genomes interact with their environment, including off course, factors outside their organisms.

thus is very possible the existence of both scenarios, where populations of isolated individuals have different genetic traits, and share traits related to genetic mutation, due rats can easily travel overseas using human transport channels. so scientists could get a vast number of data, including human interaction, evolution of rodents, health development, spread of infections, development of new organisms, how genomes evolve in different environments and so on.
