2
New cards
Genetic drift is more likely to happen in (small/large) populations
small

New cards
Founder Effect
small group of individual establish a new population that has less genetic diversity than the original population
4
New cards
What is a real life example of the founder effect?
Amish people
5
New cards
Population Bottleneck
a population gets significantly smaller in size (due to an outside force), causing loss in genetic diversity
6
New cards
What is an outside force that can cause a population bottleneck?
humans hunt a population to near extinction
7
