BOTTLENECK VS FOUNDER EFFECT 2023

 

DESCRIPTION

Bottleneck Effect

Founder Effect

Definition

A sharp reduction in population size, often due to a catastrophic event or intense selection pressure.

A small group of individuals establishes a new population, resulting in reduced genetic diversity.

Cause

Natural disasters, disease outbreaks, human activities, or sudden environmental changes.

Migration, isolation, colonization, or small group formation.

Population Size

Significant reduction in population size, leading to a small surviving population.

Start with a small founding population, which becomes the basis for a new population.

Effects on Allele Frequencies

Random changes in allele frequencies due to genetic drift. Some alleles may be lost or become more prevalent than before.

Limited number of alleles carried by the founding individuals, leading to a skewed representation of the original population's genetic makeup.

Genetic Diversity

Loss of genetic variation due to the limited number of survivors, resulting in decreased diversity and increased genetic drift.

Limited genetic diversity due to the small number of individuals in the founding population.

Examples

The cheetah population reduced drastically, leading to reduced genetic diversity.

One notable example of the founder effect in India is the Parsi community. The Parsis are a small ethnic and religious group that migrated from Persia (modern-day Iran) to the Indian subcontinent around the 8th century. They settled mainly in the region of Gujarat, particularly in the city of Mumbai (formerly Bombay)..
