Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both the Founder Effect and the Bottleneck Effect occur by chance. The Founder Effect occurs when a small group of individuals from a larger population establish a new isolated population, while the Bottleneck Effect occurs when a population undergoes a drastic reduction in size due to natural disasters or human activities, resulting in a random subset of the original population's genes being passed on to the next generation. Both events are random and can lead to genetic changes in the population.
