B The founder effect is a mechanism of evolution that includes a random factor that influences allele changes.
D The members of the founding population for island B are the most representative of the original population on the mainland.
A model of evolution is shown here. The original population has alleles for type A blood (red) and alleles for type B blood (blue).Which statements are supported by the information in the model? Please select ALL that apply.

C Islands A and C had founding members with identical allele combinations as the original mainland population.Islands A and C had founding members with identical allele combinations as the original mainland population.
D The members of the founding population for island B are the most representative of the original population on the mainland.The members of the founding population for island B are the most representative of the original population on the mainland.
E Islands A and C have undergone natural selection, which reduced the genetic variation of the alleles on each of those two islands.
