In a particular zoo the population of spider monkeys has a higher proportion of individuals with light golden brown fur than spider monkeys in the wild. if the monkeys were recently captured from the wild and if fur color is largely determined by genetics, what evolutionary process is at work? a) the founder effectb) the bottleneck effectc) microevolutiond) artificial selectione) genetic drift

The evolutionary process in work is the founder effect. Letter A.

Explanation:

The founder effect is a phenomena that happens when a small group of individuals becomes isolated from a larger population. Regardless of what the original population looks like, the new population resemble only the individuals that are founded the smaller one. The founder effect is that accompanies selecting a small group from a larger population.  The separate population become genetically distinct from the original population.
