(30%) gorilla babies die within the first few months of their lives because of inherent weakness of the infant or disease.

What is inherited disease?

Genetic factors play a role in almost all health conditions and traits, but there are some conditions in which genetic alterations play a role in almost all of the causes that cause the condition.

Genes are passed from parent to child, so are DNA changes within the gene. DNA changes can also occur spontaneously, first appearing in children of unaffected parents. This is called a new mutation, and the word mutation means change.

Therefore, (30%) gorilla babies die within the first few months of their lives because of inherent weakness of the infant or disease.

Lorico [155]

Answer:

The population suffered a genetic bottleneck, which decreased genetic variation and thereby randomly increasing the frequency of harmful alleles

Explanation:

A population bottleneck, also known as genetic bottleneck, can be defined as a drastic reduction in the size of a population, which may be caused by anthropic activity and/or environmental phenomena (e.g., earthquakes, famines, fires, droughts, etc). A genetic bottleneck leads to a reduction in genetic variability within a population. Moreover, the genetic drifit caused by a genetic bottleneck can also increase the frequency of harmful alleles/mutations (it is due to the random sampling of individuals), thereby increasing the frequency of deleterious alleles/mutations in the population.
