Question

Sampling error produced by _______________________ tends to ______________________ of genetic drift in a population.

a)a genetic bottleneck; decrease the effect
b)fluctuations in population size; have no effect on the role
c)the founder effect; increase the effect
d)variation in reproductive success; have limited effect on the role
e)nonrandom mating; delay the effect

Answer 1

The founder effect tends to increase the effect of genetic drift in a population.

Step-by-step explanation:

The founder effect; increase the effect

Both the bottleneck and founder effect change the genetic structure of a population. The bottleneck effect occurs when a large portion of a genome is wiped out, while the founder effect occurs when members of a larger population migrate to establish their own population. The founder effect tends to increase the effect of genetic drift in a population by introducing or increasing alleles.
