Genetic drift. It is when a representative sample of emigrant alleles that break off from a larger population and travel to a new location do not represent a complete frequency of the parent populations alleles. They then vary from a little to greatly from the parent population. Deleterious recessive alleles can be expressed in this founder population in greater frequency sometimes. Look up the ' Quebec effect.

Types of genetic drift?

There are two main types of genetic drift: population bottleneck and founder effect. Population bottleneck occurs when a population's size is drastically reduced, leading to a loss of genetic diversity. Founder effect occurs when a small group of individuals establishes a new population with limited genetic variation.


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.
