Hello! Your answer is the bottleneck effect.

Speaking more broadly, genetic drift is when a population becomes smaller, and there are fewer genotypes in the gene pool. There are two types of genetic drift: the bottleneck effect and the founder effect.

The bottleneck effect is when an environmental change / human activity causes many members of the population to die, which means that the gene pool is now represented by just a few organisms. This is correct in this scenario, as an environmental change caused the gene pool to be reduced.

The founder effect is when a new colony is established elsewhere, so only alleles in the smaller founder group will be reproduced.

Hope this helps!

PLEASE HELP ME!
liraira [26]
1) The process arrow A represents is photosynthesis.

2) Arrow A represents light energy transformation. Light energy from the sun is converted into chemical energy in plants.

3) Photosynthesis is part of a carbon recycling process in the carbon cycle. Plants absorb light energy and convert it to chemical energy. Plants absorb carbon dioxide which is exhaled by humans and animals. Plants then produce oxygen which is absorbed by humans and animals. Animals also eat plants thus passing the carbon compounds along.

I hope this makes sense. Hope this helps! :)
