The bottleneck effect is used to describe an event where a population decreases. One example involves the northern elephant seal

. They have a reduced genetic variation due to a population bottleneck humans inflicted on them in the 1890s. Hunting reduced their population size to as few as 20 individuals at the end of the 19th century. Their population has since rebounded to over 30,000, but they have much less genetic variation than a population of southern elephant seals that was not so intensely hunted. Which phrase best explains this change if gene frequency?

I think the best phrase to describe this would be Founder effects. Founder effects occurs when a new colony is started by a few members of the original population. This small population size means that the colony may have; a non-random sample of genes in the original population. Reduced variation from the original population.. According to Bottlenecks and founder effects, genetic drift can cause big losses of genetic variation for small populations.

In Amazonian giant mice, a fictional species, purple coat color is dominant over yellow coat color. Two mice with the heterozygo
bixtya [17]
Purple color is expressed in 3 out of the four because the law of dominance states that only one dominant gene needs to be present to express the trait. But there is one homozygous recessive that would be yellow because the genotype has two recessive genes.
Example: AA or Aa would be dominant because the capital letter represents the dominant gene
