A) It had no effect on their genetic diversity because the colonists have the same diversity as the mainland population.
B) It increased their genetic diversity because this represents an example of gene flow.
C) It decreased their genetic diversity because this represents an example of genetic drift.
D) It increased their genetic diversity because this would introduce new mutations into the population.
E) It decreased their genetic diversity because this represents an example of natural selection.
