Question
The type of genetic drift that follows the colonization of a new habitat by a small group of individuals is called __________.
- The Hardy-Weinberg principle
- The founder effect
- Directional selection
- The bottleneck effect
Hint:
New population from a small isolated group of individuals is called Founder effect.
The correct answer is: The founder effect
The founder effect is the phenomenon in which there is a derivation of a new population from a small isolated group of individuals. The new population is genetically different from the parent populations.
