Answer: 2. Population bottleneck

Explanation:

A Population bottleneck is a term used to refer to an event that causes the population of a species to reduce in very large numbers. Such an event can be environmental disasters like famine, the overhunting of a species or the destruction of its habitat.

In the case of the Cha-tham Island Robin, the bottleneck event must have been the introduction of cats and rats which then went on to hunt the birds to near extinction.

miskamm [114]
Cells will usually divide if they receive the proper signal at a checkpoint in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. In mammalian cells , this checkpoint is called the restriction point. The G1 phase is a phase of the cell cycle that takes place in eukaryotic cell division. In this phase the cell synthesizes mRNA and proteins in preparation for the subsequent steps leading to mitosis. It ends when the cell moves into the S phase of interphase.
