Explain the concept of "genetic bottlenecking" and its potential consequences in animal populations

Ask EduPadi AI for a Detailed Answer

Genetic bottlenecking occurs when a population is significantly reduced in size, resulting in a limited gene pool. This can lead to reduced genetic diversity, increased vulnerability to diseases, and a higher risk of inheriting harmful genetic traits. Animal improvement aims to prevent genetic bottlenecking by maintaining and expanding genetic diversity within populations.
