Card 10 / 25:
Describe a situation in which a population would undergo the bottleneck effect and explain what impact that would have on the population’s gene pool.
A hurricane kills a large percentage of a population of sand-dwelling crustaceans—only a few individuals survive. The alleles carried by those surviving individuals would represent the entire population’s gene pool. If those surviving individuals are not representative of the original population, the post-hurricane gene pool will differ from the original gene pool.
