  1. Bottle neck effect

  2. Founder effect

  3. Big bang theory

  4. Natural selection

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A- Population bottlenecks occur when a population's size is reduced for at least one generation. Because genetic drift acts more quickly to reduce genetic variation in small populations, undergoing a bottleneck can reduce a population's genetic variation by a lot, even if the bottleneck doesn't last for very many generations. 

B- A founder effect 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:
  • reduced genetic variation from the original population.
  • a non-random sample of the genes in the original population.

So, the correct option is 'Option A'.
