Question

Q6.1. What is the founder effect? Sampling error that occurs during the establishment of a new population by a small number of migrants O O Natural selection that acts on the founders of a new population in their new, different environment The frequencies of alleles in a population changing slowly over generations due to chance events O A period of rapid population growth thatimmediately follows some population bottlnecks Submit Q6.2. Which of the following statements about genetic drift and population size is If a population is large enough, t will not experience random genetic drift The larger a sample is, the more likely it is similar to its source population. A population can lose genetic diversity when its size is drastically reduced. The effects of genetic drift are more pronounced in very small populations. Q6.3. What effect does inbreeding have on a population? Inbreeding tends to decrease the effects of sampling error in a population. Inbreeding tends to increase the census population size. Inbreeding tends to increase the proportion of homozygous individuals in a population. 01 C. Inbreeding tends to decrease a population's susceptibility to disease

Explanation / Answer

1) The correct option is Sampling error that occurs during the establishment of a new population by a small number of migrants.

When a some individuals are isolated from a large population and establish as new population. This population gene pool is different from the source population.

2) The correct option is if a population is large enough, it will not experience random genetic drift.

3)The correct option is Inbreeding tends to increase the proportion of homozygous individuals in a population.

The inbreeding have effect on a population. It results in homozygosity, which increases the possibilities of offspring being affected by recessive or deleterious characters.

4) The correct option is The size of an idealized randomly-mating population losing heterozygosity at the same rate as the actual population.

Effective population size is the number of individuals in a population, which share the offspring to the next generation of population.
