The Abaco Islands. The Abaco Islands consists of several islands and cays (very small islands) that are great for exploring and snorkeling. Andros Island is the Bahamas' largest island but it's also the least developed. Like other Out Islands, Andros Island is ideal for eco-travelers.
bottleneck (bÅt'l-nÄk') An abrupt and severe reduction in the number of individuals during the history of a species, resulting in the loss of diversity from the gene pool. The generations following the bottleneck are more genetically homogenous than would otherwise be expected. Bottlenecks often occur in consequence of a catastrophic event.
The most common effects the genetic bottlenecks and founder effects are discussed in the article.... Genetic drift is the process of changes of allele frequencies over generations in a random fashion. Genetic bottlenecks and founder effects are the most common effects of genetic drift.The rate of loss of alleles in a genetic drift is Â½ N where N is the number of individuals in the initial population.he effect of genetic drift is inversely proportional to the size of the population. In small populations, most of the individuals tend to be homozygous for deleterious genes. The situation is similar to the effects of inbreeding.
