Solution

The answer is Founder effect. The Founder effect is a type of genetic drift that occurs when a new population is established by a very small number of individuals from a larger population. This can occur when a small group of individuals colonize a new habitat geographically isolated from other members of the same species, or survive a catastrophic event.
