Genetic Drift, Bottleneck Effect and Founder Effect

Genetic Drift Genetic drift is random fluctuation in allele frequency between generations. The effects of genetic drift are pronounced in small populations.

A Genetic Bottleneck is a Form of Genetic Drift Once again, small bottlenecked populations = big effect. In a genetic bottleneck, allele frequency is altered due to a population crash.

Genetic Bottleneck – A Historical Case Other animals known to be affected by genetic bottlenecks include the cheetah and both ancient and modern human populations. Note: A genetic bottleneck creates random genetic changes without regard to adaptation. A severe genetic bottleneck occurred in northern elephant seals.

Endangered Species Are in the Narrow Portion of a Genetic Bottleneck and Have Reduced Genetic Variation

The Effect of Genetic Drift is Inversely Related to Population Size Large populations = small effects. Small populations = large effects.

The Founder Effect is Another Variation of Genetic Drift A founder effect occurs when a small number of individuals from one population found a new population that is reproductively isolated from the original one. Migration from England

The Founder Effect is Another Variation of Genetic Drift The South Atlantic island of Tristan da Cunha was colonized by 15 Britons in 1814, one of them carrying an allele for retinitis pigmentosum. Among their 240 descendents living on the island today, 4 are blind by the disease and 9 others are carriers.

The Founder Effect Old Order Amish populations are derived from a few dozen colonists who escaped religious persecution in Germany in 1719 to settle in Pennsylvania. The community is closed. Allele and genetic disease frequencies in Amish are significantly different from the German ancestral and the surrounding local populations.
