An earthquake causes the size of a deer population to drop rapidly over a short period. Allele frequencies shift. What mechanism of evolution does this situation illustrate?Multiple Choicesexual selectionmigrationartificial selectiongenetic drift - bottleneck effectgenetic drift - founder effectdisruptive selectionnatural selection
