The type of genetic drift that follows the colonization of a new habitat by a small group is called the founder effect. This term refers to the loss of genetic variation that occurs when a new population is established by a very small number of individuals from a larger population.

Answer:

The correct answer would be the founder effect.

The founder effect is defined as a type of genetic drift in which the genetic diversity is reduced significantly due to the reasons like a disease, habitat loss,  migration of a small number of organisms from a population, et cetera.

The new small population colonizes the new habitat and the new population would look like the founder members irrespective of the original population.
