The Bottleneck Effect
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
The bottleneck effect occurs when a sudden, random event drastically reduces population size, so survivors' allele frequencies become the population's structure going forward.
Show
A disaster killing most of a population leaves survivors' allele frequencies, whatever they happen to be, defining the population afterward.
Watch for
A bottleneck kills indiscriminately with respect to genotype — surviving is chance, not selection for any allele.
