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

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.

B

Explanation:

Population will drastically lower

the national environmental policy act (nepa) is a united states environmental law that promotes the enhancement of the environment and established the president's council on environmental quality (ceq). the law was enacted on january 1, 1970. to date, more than 100 nations around the world have enacted national environmental policies modeled after nepa.
