Founder effect

The founder effect happens when a small


population of organisms breaks away from
the larger group to colonize a new area. As a
result, the population may not always
represent the diversity of their species. The
loss of genetic variations in the small
population happens.

Gene flow is defined as the movement of


alleles into or out of a population. It occurs
when there is migration of fertile individuals
between populations. This tends to increase
the gene diversity in the populations.
Mutation occurs when there is a change in
genetic makeup, during the DNA replication
caused by radiation or other environmental
stressors. New variants of genes are
