Answer» Correct Answer - B Founder principle is a phenomenon associated with genetic drift. This refer, that, when a small population splits off from the parent population, it may not be truly representative, In terms of alleles, of the parent population. Some alleles may be absent and alleles. of the parent population. Some alleles may be absent and others may be disproportionally represented. Continuous breeding,within the pioneer population will produce a gene pool with allele frequencies different from that of the original parent population, Genetic drift is significant in small populations. it tends to reduce the amont of genetic variation within the population, mainly as a result of the loss of those alleles, which have low frequency |
