Imagine you raise goldfish as a pet dealer. You have over 10,000 fish in one large tank but, due to an electrical problem, 95% of the fish perish one night. The remaining 5% are left to breed and repopulate, passing their genes and traits on to future generations. What type of genetic drift would this be considered?
A
bottleneck event

B
extinction

C
founder effect

D
natural selection

reason: it would happen to repeat as a cycle so, they are repopulating it cant be extinction because that means they are no longer there forever and they are repopulating, founder effect would be the person taking care of, and natural selection cant be possible when the electric problem wasnt natural and needed to be fixed

Bottleneck event type of genetic drift would this be considered in this case.

What is genetic drift?

Genetic drift is a mechanism of evolution characterized by random fluctuations in the frequency of a particular version of a gene (allele) in a population.

The bottleneck effect is an extreme example of genetic drift that happens when the size of a population is severely reduced. Events like electrical problem can decimate a population, killing most individuals and leaving behind a small, random assortment of survivors.

Hence, option A is correct.
