From EK 1001 Bio #925:
The founder effect is occasionally associated with a reduction in genetic diversity and overall health and fitness that is most likely caused by the occurence of:
A. Inbreeding only
B. Population bottleneck only
C. Both A and B
D. Neither A nor B
Ok so I chose A, because I thought population bottleneck is when there is some large percentage of population being killed off and that causes and amplification of genes.
Yet they tell me the answer is C. How is population bottleneck involved here?
