select all that apply select all of the following events that could lead to a population bottleneck. a natural disaster such as an earthquake or flood an infectious disease that kills a large proportion of the population reduction in migration between two neighboring populations colonization of an island by a small number of individuals human destruction of a populations habitat

Explanation:

A population bottleneck occurs when a population's size is suddenly reduced. Natural disasters, infectious diseases, and habitat destruction can all cause a large - scale reduction in population size. Colonization by a small number of individuals can also lead to a bottleneck as it starts with a limited gene pool. Reduction in migration doesn't directly cause a sudden reduction in population size like the others.

Answer:

A. A natural disaster such as an earthquake or flood
B. An infectious disease that kills a large proportion of the population
D. Colonization of an island by a small number of individuals
E. Human destruction of a population's habitat
