Chapter 19, Problem 15QP
Summary Introduction
To determine: The relation between founder effects and genetic drift.
Introduction: The concept of founder effect was initially given by Ernst Mayr in the year 1942. The concept of genetic drift is explained with the help of mathematical models.

How do natural disasters affects the genetic structure of a population? (genetic drift)
Under genetic drift, if an allele’s frequency is 1%, what is the likelihood that it will be lost from the population?
