When a genetic bottleneck happens, a species’ population ( blank ) . it’s unlikely that the species will have a high degree of ( blank ) , a population characteristic that provides a species with a greater chance of surviving changes to its environment. fill in the blanks

The right answers are : Declines (rapidly) and genetic diversity.

Phenomenon occurring when a population is greatly reduced over at least one generation. The low number of remaining breeders therefore transmits only a fraction of the initial genetic diversity to subsequent generations. This results in a genetic impoverishment of the population.

In conjunction with the founder effect, bottlenecks are one of the mechanisms of species evolution.

dna damages cause changes in the structure of the genetic material and prevents the replication mechanism from functioning and performing properly. dna damage and mutation have different biological consequences. while most dna damages can undergo dna repair, such repair is not 100% efficient.
