in the early 2000s, white nose fungus caused a mass die-off of native american bat species. those bats that survived will continue the population with their own allele frequencies. what type of genetic drift is this? responses



Answer :

In the early 2000s, white nose fungus caused a mass die-off of native American bat species. those bats that survived will continue the population with their own allele frequencies. This effect is called bottleneck effect.

Allele is the alternative forms of a same gene. There are usually 2 alternative forms of a gene, however, more than 2 are also possible. The alleles are a result of mutations. Alleles can either be dominant or recessive.

Bottleneck effect is the type of genetic drift where a population is reduced severely due to some natural calamity or disease. The name bottleneck is given due to the fact that there is a sudden decline in gene flow due to some happening.
