soon after it was established due to a founder effect, a population is expected to have
□ many new mutations not found in the original larger population
□ different allele frequencies than the original larger population
□ more genetic variation than the original larger population
□ less genetic variation than the original larger population

Explanation:

The founder effect occurs when a new population is established by a very small number of individuals from a larger population. This results in different allele frequencies in the new population compared to the original one. Also, due to the small - sized founding group, there is less genetic variation in the new population compared to the original larger population. New mutations are not a direct result of the founder effect.

Answer:

B. different allele frequencies than the original larger population
D. less genetic variation than the original larger population
