Question

Speciation is facilitated in small, isolated populations because:

a) Founder effects may create uniform genetic backgrounds, converting dominance variance genetict to additive genetic variance.

b) Founder effects may create uniform genetic backgrounds, converting linkage disequalibrium to additive genetic variance.

c) Founder effects may create uniform genetic backgrounds, converting additive genetic variance to a nonrandom sample of the population.

d) Founder effects will create uniform genetic backgrounds, reducing genetic variation and making the response to selection impossible.

e) none of the above.

Explanation / Answer

Ans)  Founder effects may create uniform genetic backgrounds, converting additive genetic variance to a nonrandom sample of the population.
