This scenario is an example of Genetic Drift. Genetic drift refers to random changes in allele frequencies in a population, especially in small populations, which can lead to significant changes in the population's genetic makeup over time. The random occurrence that killed most of the green insects is an example of a bottleneck effect, which is a type of genetic drift.
In this image, a random occurrence has killed most of the green insects. As a result, future populations have few green insects and mostly brown insects. What is this an example of?
