How does genetic drift lead to a change in a populations gene pool?
Genetic drift reduces variation in a population through allele loss, there are 2 situations of GD: a) Bottleneck effect: number of individuals is reduced significantly by a random event b) Founder effect: few individuals are separated and establish their own population both situations result in different allele frequency representations in new populations from their previous population`s
Why does bottleneck effect happened in natural disasters?
Because natural disasters eliminate most of organisms which results in reduced population and bottle neck effect .
Genetic drift tens to occur in populations that?
Genetic drift has a larger effect on smaller populations.
What was an effect of white fight?
city populations became poorer
How do avalanches effect the biosphere?
Populations, Habitats, and flora and fauna
When a few individuals start a new colony it most likely results in?
Extinction due to bottleneck effect
When few individuals start a new colony it most likely results?
Extinction due to the bottleneck effect.
Types of genetic drift?
Founder effect & Bottleneck effect.
What is the effect of mass extinction?
The effect of mass extinction is extinction, death of a mass
A flood kills most of a population of ants that lives near a river. After the flood the ant population increases but its allele frequencies are different. What does this situation represent?
bottleneck (apex) [correct]
An important effect that hunter-gatherer societies may have bad on the environment was?
Overhunting of animal populations, leading to species depletion and ecosystem instability.
Which is an example of genetic drift?
Allele frequencies change randomly each generation. APEX
Which was not an effect of the New Deal programs on American life?
The economy rebounded to 1928 levels.
The number of trout in a lake drops when the lake is polluted. The trout population increases but the allele frequency is different than it was before the pollution. What type of effect is this?
Apex . . bottleneck
Bottleneck effect vs founder effect?
bottleneck effect is an evolutionary event in which population size is radically reduced because of catastrophic events. founder effect occur when few individuals migrate from main population and establishes a separate population in new geographical location. both of these are special cases of genetic drift.
An scientific example of bottleneck effect?
(In biology) The bottleneck effect happens when the size of a population or even an entire species is suddenly reduced, with lasting effects on at least one generation. A population bottleneck may occur after an epidemic, drought, fire, hunting, or other destructive events.
