Question

Which of the following processes that occur by chance result in a loss of genetic diversity? (Choose all that apply)

A) inbreeding
B) genetic bottleneck
C) founder effect
D) outbreeding

Answer 1

inbreeding

genetic bottleneck

founder effect

Step-by-step explanation:

I took the test

Answer 2

inbreeding

genetic bottleneck

founder effect

Step-by-step explanation:

These different types of genetic drift change the allelic frequencies in a population through chance.

Inbreeding, genetic drift, restricted gene flow, and small population size all contribute to a reduction in genetic diversity. Fragmented and threatened populations are typically exposed to these conditions, which is likely to increase their risk of extinction
