Difference between Founder effect and Genetic variation

Founder effect vs. Genetic variation

In population genetics, the founder effect is the loss of genetic variation that occurs when a new population is established by a very small number of individuals from a larger population. Genetic variation means that biological systems – individuals and populations – are different over space.

Similarities between Founder effect and Genetic variation

Founder effect and Genetic variation have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Allele, Chromosome, Ernst Mayr, Genetic drift, Genetic recombination, Mutation, Phenotype, Zygosity.

Allele

An allele is a variant form of a given gene.

Chromosome

A chromosome (from Ancient Greek: χρωμόσωμα, chromosoma, chroma means colour, soma means body) is a DNA molecule with part or all of the genetic material (genome) of an organism.

Ernst Mayr

Ernst Walter Mayr (5 July 1904 – 3 February 2005) was one of the 20th century's leading evolutionary biologists.

Genetic drift

Genetic drift (also known as allelic drift or the Sewall Wright effect) is the change in the frequency of an existing gene variant (allele) in a population due to random sampling of organisms.

Genetic recombination

Genetic recombination (aka genetic reshuffling) is the production of offspring with combinations of traits that differ from those found in either parent.

Mutation

In biology, a mutation is the permanent alteration of the nucleotide sequence of the genome of an organism, virus, or extrachromosomal DNA or other genetic elements.

Phenotype

A phenotype is the composite of an organism's observable characteristics or traits, such as its morphology, development, biochemical or physiological properties, behavior, and products of behavior (such as a bird's nest).

Zygosity

Zygosity is the degree of similarity of the alleles for a trait in an organism.

The list above answers the following questions

Founder effect and Genetic variation Comparison

Founder effect has 84 relations, while Genetic variation has 43. As they have in common 8, the Jaccard index is 6.30% = 8 / (84 + 43).
