What effect would overfishing most likely have on a population of fish in a lake? A. cause a gene flow to occur in the populatio
n B. create a bottleneck effect, reducing genetic diversity C. create a founder effect, restricting genetic variation D. increase the chances of mating between nonrelated partners E. favor the process of stabilizing selection in the population
Overfishing would result in an bottleneck effect as large number of fish is removed from a population of fishes. The size of the population has an larger effect on the amount of genetic diversity. Larger the population greater the genetic diversity.Due to overfishing, population would become smaller resulting in reducing genetic diversity. So the answer is B.
Systematics is the study of the units of biodiversity. Systematics differs from ecology in that the latter is concerned with the interactions of individuals (and therefore species) in a particular time.
