Question

A student is using a multi-colored paper plate to represent an animal population. In her model, each section of the plate represents
an individual, and the colors in each section represents the combination of genes that individual possesses. To model a certain
genetic process, the student cuts the paper plate and separates four individuals from the rest of the population, forming two smaller
populations.
Which process is the student most likely modeling?

Answer 1

Answer:

Founder effect?

Explanation:

My best bet is that it is explaining founder effect. This is where a small amount of members in a population move to an isolated place which causes them to lose the genetic diversity overtime (due to less diversity).

Hope it's right. Let me know down in the comments.
