Question

What occurs when the genetic structure changes to match that of the new population which has the left or been blocked from the original population. In this situation, those individuals are unlikely to be representative of the entire population

Natural selection What occurs when the genetic structure changes to match that of the new population which has the left or been blocked from the original population.

A. Bottleneck effect B. Mutation C. Founder effect D. Natural selection
A. Bottleneck effect B. Mutation C. Founder effect D. Natural selection

Explanation / Answer

Ans:- C)Founder effect

In Founder effect, entirely new genetic makeup of population is generated (which is totally different from their parent population).

In Bottleneck effect, the genetic constitution of new population , not that much differ from their original population.

Mutation doesn't lead to total change in genetic structure,

& Natural selection relies on survival of the fittest .

So, in this situation, Founder effect is the correct option.
