Here is the correct matching of terms from Column A to their definitions in Column B:
1. Bottleneck effect: **b.** an extreme example of what happens when the size of a population is severely reduced. Events like natural disasters (earthquakes, floods, fires) can decimate a population, killing most individuals and leaving behind a small, random assortment of survivors.
2. Genetic drift: **a.** variation in the relative frequency of different genotypes in a small population, owing to the chance disappearance of particular genes as individuals die or do not reproduce.
3. Founder effect: **c.** the loss of genetic variation that occurs when a new population is established by a very small number of individuals from a larger population.
