This condition is an example of bottleneck effect.
Bottleneck effect is the reduction in the size of a population by various causes like natural disasters or human activities. Due to this the gene pool will be reduced as a small population is remaining with small genetic diversity. Genetic diversity will be reduced and as a result of it the chances of survival will be less as the ability of the organism will be less to adapt to environmental changes.

A population of cheetahs was hunted to near extinction during the last three decades of the 19th century. The number of animals increased to pre-19th century levels due to their location being made off limits to hunters during the latter half of the 20th century. Albinism, which was previously rare in this population, is now 10-fold over the frequency observed prior to the near extinction event. This is an example of a) The founder effect b) A genetic bottleneck c)...

4. In the past century, sea otters in the California coast have been hunted to almost extinction. Nowadays, few populations remain. As a biologist, your job is propose a plan to help maintain healthy populations of otters. The initial step, however, is to identify any signs of inbreeding (i.e., non-random mating) in the existing two populations, so you can better manage them. Here is what you know about a particular locus (A) that you are using in your genotyping studies:...

Indonesia is the fourth most populous country in the world. It is an island nation in southeast Asia. Half of the population lives on the largest island, Java, while the other half of the population is scattered among 13,000 smaller islands. Indonesia is a collection of several hundred unique ethnic/cultural groups, with each having their own language. Determine which population genetics term best describes each of the hypothetical scenarios below: 1) In 1883, more than two thirds of Krakatoa island...

A. phylogenetic B. ecological C. biological D. morphologicalOn the Bahamian Island of Andros, mosquitofish populations live in now-isolated, freshwater ponds that were once united. Currently, some predator-rich ponds have mosquitofish with a body shape that allows them to swim in short, fast bursts. Other predator-poor ponds have mosquitofish with a body shape that allows them to swim continuously for a...

summarise with in-text citations: 1. Introduction Human origins and the extinction of archaic populations have been the subject of intense debate in recent decades (e.g., Stringer and Andrews, 1988; Wolpoff, 1989; Brauer, 1992; Harpending et al., 1993; Lahr and Foley, 1998). Many hypotheses have been proposed for the extinction of such populations. Among the latter, research has focussed primarily on Neanderthals (e.g., Flores, 1998; Finlayson, 2004; Horan et al., 2005; Finlayson et al., 2006). The Neanderthal extinction took place mainly...

1Female stalk-eyed flies prefer to mate with males that have longer eye stalks, and the average male eye stalk length is much longer than that of females. This is an example of _______ mutation macroevolution. disruptive selection sexual selection. 2 Several different species of small nocturnal primates called, bush babies live in the woodlands of Africa While several different species of bush babies often live in the same habitat they cannot interbreed because bush babies have genitalia that will only fit the genitalia of females belonging...
