The correct statement about a bottleneck event is:
A bottleneck event decreases the gene pool of a population.
Bottleneck events occur when a significant portion of a population is suddenly removed, leading to a reduction in genetic diversity and variability. This can result in a decreased gene pool, which can impact the species' ability to adapt to environmental changes or survive future challenges.
