Summary Introduction

To predict:

In what way the gene flow, genetic drift, and extinction risk would differ between the original and the remnant populations.

Concept introduction:

Gene flow is the transfer of genes or alleles from one population to another.

Genetic drift is the change in allele frequency of a population due to chance events. It is more likely to occur in a small population than a larger population. It decreases the genetic variability of a population.
