Bottlenecks and founder effects. Genetic drift can cause big losses of geneticvariation for small populations. Population bottlenecks occur when a population's size is reduced for at least one generation.

A population bottleneck is an event corresponding to the fact that a substantial proportion of the population of a species disappears or is prevented from reproducing. There is a significantly different type of demographic bottleneck called the founder effect, which occurs when a subset of a population is, at least as far as reproduction is concerned, isolated from the main group (it does not disappear The two groups will be independent of each other).

In population genetics, the founder effect is the loss of genetic variation that occurs when a new population is established by a very small number of individuals belonging to a larger population.

Domestic cats transfer their genetic information to their offspring by meiosis. If a kitten has 38 chromosomes, how many chromos

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Since domestic cats reproduce through meiosis, each parent gives off half of their genetic code (or DNA) to their offspring. The answer would be B, 19 chromosomes because that is half of 38. That is why when a parent gives birth to their child, they don't look exactly the same or act exactly the same as either of their parents. They are a mix of both, which is another explanation for why no two people look exactly alike.

You may wonder, a domestic cat births more than one offspring at a time. If multiple offspring share the same parents, why don't they look the same? The reason for that is because the half DNA that the parent is giving off is a different half than they gave to another offspring, if that makes any sense.

Hope that helped you! :)
