Question

In a population recovering from the Bottleneck Effect, the initial gene pool is likely to be as genetically diverse as the original populatio

True or False

Answer 1

Answer: I’d say True

Explanation: Genetic drift can result in the loss of rare alleles, and can decrease the size of the gene pool. Genetic drift can also cause a new population to be genetically distinct from its original population, which has led to the hypothesis that genetic drift plays a role in the evolution of new species.
