An island population faced a natural calamity and the population crashed to only 30 organisms. After some time the number of organisms grew to 5000 but still the threat of extinction is large. This is most likely due to:
| 1. | Founder effect | 2. | Bottleneck effect |
| 3. | Edge effect | 4. | Heterosis |

2. mutations in the gene pool of the other subgroup
