What type of phenomeno do you expect after a population suddenly undergoes a severe reduction

Question

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ Genetic Bottleneck ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ Genetic Drift: A severe reduction in population size can lead to genetic drift, where allele frequencies change randomly, potentially reducing genetic variation. ‖‖ b ⋮ Inbreeding: With a smaller population, individuals are more likely to mate with relatives, increasing the chances of inbreeding and the expression of deleterious alleles. ‖‖ c ⋮ Reduced Genetic Diversity: The population may experience a loss of genetic diversity, making it less adaptable to environmental changes and more susceptible to diseases. ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Genetic Bottleneck ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ A genetic bottleneck occurs when a population's size is significantly reduced for at least one generation, leading to a loss of genetic variation and potential long-term effects on the population's survival and adaptability. ⚹◊How does the founder effect contribute to genetic drift in a population that has undergone a severe reduction in size?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
