Question
Which of the following statements about the founder effect is correct?
- Named after the scientist John Founder
- No large change in frequency
- The old population becomes founders
- Formation of new species
Hint:
Founder effect is when a small population is separated from a large population.
The correct answer is: Formation of new species
The founder effect is observed as the loss of genetic variation which occurs when a new population is established. The new population is formed by a very small number of individuals from the larger population. This type of genetic variation creates new species in the population.
Hence, (d) is the correct answer.
