    1. a genetic bottleneck is an event which causes a big reduction in a population, eg. a large number of the population dying
  • 2. this reduces the number of different alleles in the gene pool so reduces genetic diversity
  • 3. the survivors reproduce and a larger population is created but with reduced genetic diversity
