The answer is genetic drift (bottleneck effect)

<span>There are 4 basic mechanisms of evolution - mutation, genetic drift, natural selection, and gene flow (migration). Genetic drift is a change in the frequency of alleles in a population as a result of random sampling of organisms. One of the examples of genetic drift is the bottleneck event. </span>The bottleneck event means drastic reduction of the population size because of environment changes. The consequence of this is the reduction of genetic variation. This is what happened to the population of worms after tree falling.

Which statements describe a situation with a displacement of zero
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

An object that starts and ends at the same point would have zero displacements.

<h3>What is displacement?</h3>

Displacement is the property of a body or an object to be moved from one place to another.

Thus a body that moves or is moved from point A to point B has been displaced.

A body with zero displacements either did not move at all or finished at the same point it started.

For example, a body that moves from point A to B, and then back to A will have zero displacements.
