An example of the founder effect?
The Amish population in the United States is an example of the founder effect. When a small group of individuals established the Amish community in the 18th century, they brought with them a limited genetic diversity. This has resulted in a higher frequency of certain genetic disorders within the Amish population due to the founder effect.
Many generations that followed had cases of polydactyly What is this an example of?
Founder Effect
Many generations that followed had cases of polydactyly. what is this example of?
Founder Effect
What is an example of the founder effect?
The finches of the Galápagos Islands are an example of the founder effect, where a small group of finches established a new population on an isolated island. Over time, genetic variations that were present in this small group became more prevalent in the subsequent generations of finches on the island.
What is a change in allele frequency that results from the migration of a small subgroup of a population called?
This is known as the founder effect, where a small subgroup establishes a new population with a different allele frequency compared to the original population.
A situation in which allele frequencies change as a result of the migration of a small subgroup of a population is know as the?
founder effect
What reinforces the founder effect?
Inbreeding
Where do many species display founder effects?
Probably the best documented example of the founder effect in action is the Galapagos islands. However the founder effect is seen much more commonly in mountainous regions. Mountains offer many various environmental settings which may cut populations apart. An excellent example of this are populations which cross onto the opposite side of a mountain range than the rest of their species. This is very frequently seen in birds.
The sharp reduction of the gene pool and the numbers of a population through a severe epidemic is an example of?
founder effect, where a small population establishes a new gene pool due to a sharp reduction in numbers.
What characteristic is common to both a genetic bottleneck and a founder effect?
Both a genetic bottleneck and a founder effect are characterized by a significant reduction in genetic diversity within a population.
A small founding population of a few hundred Europeans in North America had an unusually high frequency of an allele that causes polydactyl What is this an example of?
Founder Effect
What is a small founding population of a few hundred Europeans in North America had an unusually high frequency of an allele that causes polydactyly (six fingers) an example of?
Founder Effect
