Population bottlenecks are evolutionary events attributed to the loss of genetic variability over a short period of time. These can occur due to environmental damage, hunting, limited resources, and drastic climatic changes that cause random fluctuations in the levels of populations. The sudden reduction of population size results in a new gene pool that is not reflective of the diversity and variability of the original gene pool. Bottleneck effects do not just occur due to a disease that kills a small group of individuals lacking a particular gene, as death due to disease is said to be aided by the process of natural selection. On the contrary, the bottleneck effect results from a sharp decline in the number of individuals in a population due to sudden occurrence of events like natural calamities or human interference, completely...

A sharp lowering of a populations gene pool because of an environmental, or human-caused, change. How does it effect populations? It decreases genetic variation and makes the population more susceptible to disease.
What is the main cause of a bottleneck?A bottleneck is a point of congestion in a production system that slows or stops progress. Short-term bottlenecks are temporary and often caused by a labor shortage. Long-term bottlenecks are more incorporated into the system itself and characterized by inefficient machinery or processes.
What is a population bottleneck quizlet?Population bottlenecks occur when a population's size is reduced for at least one generation.
How does the bottleneck effect affect allele frequencies?The bottleneck effect results in a drastic change of allele frequencies of a gene pool causing genetic drift. This dramatic change in allele's occurs as a result of natural disasters such as earthquakes or floods.
