What effect would overfishing most likely have on a population of fish in a lake? A. cause a gene flow to occur in the population B. create a bottleneck effect, reducing genetic diversity C. create a founder effect, restricting genetic variation D. increase the chances of mating between nonrelated partners E. favor the process of stabilizing selection in the population

Respuesta :

Overfishing would result in an bottleneck effect as large number of fish is removed from a population of fishes. The size of the population has an larger effect on the amount of genetic diversity. Larger the population greater the genetic diversity.Due to overfishing, population would become smaller resulting in reducing genetic diversity. So the answer is B.

 It can change the size of the fish that remain, as well as the way they reproduce and the speed at which they mature.

 • Taking too many fish out of the sea creates an imbalance that can erode the food web and lead to the loss of other important marine life, including endangered species like sea turtles and coral.
