Question

A species that has experienced a severe bottleneck event would be expected to _______.. a.. be better able to adapt to changing environmental pressures. b.. have few instances of inbreeding. c.. be more susceptible to disease and famine. d.. retain significant genetic diversity

Answer 1

I think the correct answer among the choices listed above is option A. A species that has experienced a severe bottleneck event would be expected to be better able to adapt to changing environmental pressures because this species is used to the changes and should able to survive.

Answer 2

Answer;

C. Be more susceptible to disease and famine

Explanation;

-A species that has experienced a severe bottleneck event would be expected to be more susceptible to disease and famine.

-The Bottleneck Effect occurs when there is a disaster of some sort that reduces a population to a small handful, which rarely represents the actual genetic makeup of the initial population.

-It may be caused by various events, such as an environmental disaster, the hunting of a species to the point of extinction, or habitat destruction that results in the deaths of organisms.
