Summary

Description
English: Representation of the founder effect: the colored balls represent the two alleles for a specific locus which are present in a hypothetical population; once a random subgroup of a population becomes separated from its ancestral population, the allele frequencies in the two groups' subsequent generations can diverge widely within a relatively short period of time as a consequence of a purely random selection of alleles for reproduction.
