    Founder effect occurs when a few members of a population colonize a new area and become geographically isolated. Minimum viable population size is the number of individuals a population needs for long-term survival. Bottleneck effect occurs when individuals of small population mate each other increase in the freq. Of defective genes.

    Genetic drift and bottleneck effect

    Genetic Diversity Can Affect the Size of Small Populations


    When a population becomes so reduced, reduced genetic diversity can affect the overall survival of the population. Genetic drift random changes in gene (i.e., allele) frequencies in a population that can lead to unequal reproductive success; occurs more often in small populations. Founder effect when a few members of a population colonize a new area and become geographically isolated. Demographic bottleneck occurs when only a few member of a population survive a catastrophic die-off. Inbreeding occurs when individuals of small population mate with each other increase in the freq. of defective genes. Minimum viable population size the number of individuals a population needs for long-term survival.
