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!

How and when will the universe end? Of course, this was predicted and verified you could say.
Monica [59]

Answer:

If the Universe holds enough matter, including dark matter, the combined gravitational attraction of everything will gradually halt this expansion and precipitate the ultimate collapse. Over time, galaxies, then individual stars, will smash into each other more frequently, killing off any life on nearby planets.

timurjin [86]

Answer:

Succinate dehydrogenase is an enzyme complex which is found in the inner membrane of the mitochondria in case of Eukaryotes.

It is the only enzyme in the body that takes part in electron transport and citric acid cycle.

The pressence of this enzyme shows that there is a pressence of high mitochondrial content in that part of the body

Other dehydrogenases oxidizes a substrate by reducing the electron acceptor which is usually NAD⁺/NADP⁺  or flavin enzyme.
