A group of individuals from a larger population can migrate to a new area and establish a colony, which will be highly susceptible to genetic drift. This is known as
Adi S.
Founder effect occurs when a subset of a larger population becomes isolated a large population comes into contact with a smaller population a negative mutation is allowed to reproduce several gene pools blend together forming a new, larger gene pool

39) When individuals from a population migrate to an area of another population of the same species and begin interbreeding, this situation is most likely called A. genetic drift B. gene flow C. speciation D. bottleneck effect 40) The "founder effect" seems to occur when A. The environment favors one population over another population B. A non-representative subpopulation forms the basis for an isolated population C. Individuals from one population move into and become part of a second population D. Two similar populations exist in the same community without being reduced in number
