Question

8 multiple choice 1 point the founder effect differs from the bottleneck effect in that: it happens in large populations it always increases diversity it results from a small group colonizing a new area it eliminates natural selection

Explanation:

The founder effect occurs when a small subset of a population colonizes a new area, leading to reduced genetic diversity due to the limited gene pool of the founders. The bottleneck effect results from a sharp reduction in population size (e.g., natural disaster), not colonization. The correct option distinguishes the founder effect’s cause of colonization by a small group.

Answer:

It results from a small group colonizing a new area
