Answer:

The correct answer is d. bottleneck effect

Explanation:

A bottleneck effect occurs when a large population of a species suddenly decreases in size due to some type of natural disaster like tsunami, earthquake, volcanic eruption, etc. This is a type of extreme genetic drift because in this many allele which was present in the old larger population might lost and the new population has less allele than previous population.

So here 98% of the population died in the earthquake and the remaining population has broader stripes on average than the initial population therefore here the squirrel population experienced bottleneck effect.

laiz [17]

Answer:

C. Population shrinks; 15 birds in  the end

Explanation:

Let us understand some of the given terms;

  immigration is a form of migration in which organisms comes into a territory.

  emigration is a form of migration in which organisms leaves a place

 population is a group of organisms of the same species

Given:

Population  = 21 birds

Immigrant = 3 birds

Emigrants  = 9 birds

 Population change = total number of birds + immigrant  - emigrants

                                   = 21 + 3 - 9

                                     = 15 birds

The population will shrink giving 15 birds in the end
