Explanation / Answer

The founder effect is an example of genetic drift in which a small group of individuals establishes a larger population

A population exhibiting this effect is normally isolated from a general population.

In the founding individual of the population rare alleles can be present

These rare alleles may be at a higher frequency in the founder population than they were in the original population

Because of this evolution is said to have occurred because the allele frequency of the population has changed.
