Question

multiple choice question the change in allele frequencies that occurs due to the colonization of a new location by a small group of individuals is called _______ random mating the bottleneck effect migration the founder effect

Explanation:

The founder effect occurs when a small group of individuals colonizes a new location, leading to changes in allele frequencies as this small - founding population may not be genetically representative of the original population. Random mating refers to a situation where individuals have an equal chance of mating with any other individual in the population. The bottleneck effect is due to a drastic reduction in population size, not specifically colonization by a small group. Migration is the movement of individuals into or out of a population.

Answer:

the founder effect
