Question

Bison roamed free in an area along the eastern slopes of the Rockies, in what is now Banff National Park, for thousands of years before being wiped out by hunting in the mid-1800s.

Elk Island National Park, located 35 km east of Edmonton has been an important refuge for bison, amongst many other species of animals.

In January 2017, 16 bison, which were raised in Elk Island National Park, were moved to Banff National Park. They were contained in a paddock initially, but then the animals were released into a partially fenced area, about 425 km² in size, in the backcountry. There is hope the animals will eventually be free roaming.

Among this population of bison, rapid random changes in their gene pool frequencies may occur due to

Select one:

a. founder effect

b. non-random mating

c. bottleneck effect

d. increased mutation rate
