This represents the example of founder effect.

The founder effect is a term in genetics that describes the loss of genetic variation as a result of new population formation by a very small number of individuals from a larger population. Small group of migrants (the afrikaner population of south Africa) that is not genetically representative of the larger population (Europe population) forms a new population with lower genetic variation.

<u>Answer</u>: Founder effect.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • The <em>founder effec</em>t is caused when a small group of individuals becomes separated from a larger population and move into a new area. This smaller population, moving to a new area forms the founder population.
  • Since a new population is established from a smaller population it leads to a loss of genetic variation and, this effect is known as founder effect and this is the reason why<em> Familial hypercholesterolemia is more frequent in the afrikaner population </em>
