The correct answer is it decreases genetic diversity only by reducing population size.  
<span>
The great explanation for this is a bottleneck effect, which is an extreme example of genetic drift. The bottleneck effect occurs when the size of a population is reduced due to a catastrophe. When it happens, only a small, random number of individuals survive the event and pass through the bottleneck. Thus, the genetic composition of the random survivors is now the genetic composition of the entire population which means that the genetic diversity is reduced.</span>

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

-Physical properties possessed by all stars:

  • They are made of gases such as hydrogen and helium.
  • They shine very brightly due to interaction of hydrogen and helium at appropriate pressure and temperature.
  • They contain iron in their cores which monitors the fusion reaction.
  • They make energy through fusion between the gases present in the stars which are hydrogen and helium.
  • They are not spherical in shape hence this physical property is false in terms physical properties of the stars.
