A large population of rabbits exists on an island. An adjacent island has no
rabbits. As an experiment, scientists divide the rabbits in half, each with the
same frequency of alleles. One group is placed on the uninhabited island
and both groups are observed. Is this an example of the founder effect?*
Yes, but only if the groups evolve differently
No, the founders are the same as the parent population
Yes, because the rabbits are founding a population on a new island
