Answer:

founder effect

Step-by-step explanation:

When a few individuals are isolated from the rest of the population and can have very different gene frequencies, it is called the Founder Effect. The founder effect is a type of genetic drift in which a small population is isolated. Due to this isolation, the population may have different gene frequencies than the rest of the larger population.

Hope this helps!! :)
