Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Yes, the reduction of gene pool in small populations can be attributed to lack of suitable mates, lack of advantageous traits, and bottleneck events. These factors can lead to a decrease in genetic variation and increase the risk of inbreeding, ultimately reducing the overall health and adaptability of the population.
