Answer 1

Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "'founder effect'" to get these possible sources:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Founder_effect
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/evolution/library/06/3/l_063_03.html
http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evosite/evo101/IIID3Bottlenecks.shtml
http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/ridley/a-z/Founder_effect.asp
http://www.bookrags.com/research/founder-effect-gen-02/

In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search.

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
