The founder effect<span> occurs when a portion of the </span>population<span> (i.e. "founders") separates from the old </span>population<span> to start a new </span>population<span> with different allele frequencies. </span>Small populations<span> are </span>more<span> susceptible </span>genetic drift<span> than large</span>populations<span>, whose larger numbers can buffer the </span>population<span> against chance events. i hope this helped u
