Environmental Events and Population Bottlenecks Lead to Founder Effects

4. A sharp reduction in size of population due to environmental
events such as femines, earthquake, flood, fire, disease or
drought) or human activity such as genocide

established by a very small number of individuals form a larger

10. The result of both founder effect and bottleneck effect are
similar
• Maximum homozygotic
• reduce genetic variation
• increase similarities
• decrease heterozygosity
• harmful Alleles may be fixed
