when only a very few individuals give rise to a new population in a new area of favorable habitat, the new population might possess different allelic frequencies for a certain trait than the larger population from which it separated. this effect is called the
o inbreeding effect
o founder effect
o outbreeding effect
o mutation effect

Explanation:

The founder effect occurs when a small group of individuals establishes a new population. This small group may not have the same allelic frequencies as the larger population it separated from. Inbreeding effect is about mating between close relatives. Outbreeding is the opposite of inbreeding. Mutation effect is related to genetic mutations. Since the question describes a new population started by a few individuals with different allelic frequencies from the original larger population, the founder effect is the correct concept.

Answer:

founder effect
