BJU Biology Chapter 9

The blueberry bushes in a certain area are affected by a devastating blueberry disease. Most of the blueberry bushes die, but a few survive. Seedlings from the bushes reestablish the population. During a later outbreak of the same blueberry disease, only a few bushes die. This is an example of:

• Bottle Neck Effect

• Genetic Drift

• Allele Frequency

• Gene Flow

Answer explanation

Bottleneck Effect: sudden dramatic decline in the population

Genetic Drift: change in alleles within a population
