/hich of the following can be considered an example of "bottleneck effect" of genetic drift? An invasive predator suddenly moves into a population of white and black moths, and quickly eats most of the white moths, leading to an overrepresentation of the black allele in the population. A population of penguins has multiple alleles for beak length. Long beaks allow penguins to hunt more fish, increasing their ability to reproduce.

A group of bats separates from a large population on the mainland, and flies to a nearby island. Members of the island population randomly had alleles that gave them sharp fangs, which help them feed on beetles which happen to live on the island. As a result, the sharper fang allele becomes represente with high frequency in the island bats. All of the above None of the above

I’m not quite understanding this question can you explain which best describes bottleneck?
Which of the following can be considered an example of "bottleneck effect" of genetic drift?
An invasive predator suddenly moves into a population of white and black moths, and quickly eats most of the white moths, leading to an
overrepresentation of the black allele in the population.
A population of penguins has multiple alleles for beak length. Long beaks allow penguins to hunt more fish, increasing their ability to reproduce. A storm
occurs and kills off population members with the long beaks, leaving only individuals with short beak length.
Agroup of bats separates from a large population on the mainland, and flies to a nearby island. Members of the island population randomly had alleles
that gave them sharp fangs, which help them feed on beetles which happen to live on the island. As a result, the sharper fang allele becomes represented
with high frequency in the island bats.
