Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In the early 2000s, White Nose fungus caused a mass die-off of native American bat species. Those bats that survived will continue the population with their own allele frequencies. What type of genetic drift is this?
A
Founder Effect
B
Bottlenose Effect
C
Bottleneck Effect
D
Migration Effect
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -To be invasive, a species must adapt to the new area easily. It must reproduce quickly. It must harm property, the economy, or the native plants and animals of the region. Many invasive species are introduced into a new region accidentally.

Detailed explanation-2: -Genetic Diversity is the diversity of genetic characteristics (expressed or recessive) within a species (i.e. between individuals and populations of the same species).

Detailed explanation-3: -Q-63 Biodiversity is the variety of living organisms and their interactions with each other, i.e. life on Earth.

Detailed explanation-4: -Greater biodiversity in ecosystems, species, and individuals leads to greater stability. For example, species with high genetic diversity and many populations that are adapted to a wide variety of conditions are more likely to be able to weather disturbances, disease, and climate change.
