52 POINTS A natural disaster caused a piece of land to break away from the mainland. The landmass drifted away from the mainland and became isolated in the ocean. The landmass has a small fraction of species that were present on the mainland, and only a few individuals of each species survived. What will happen to the biodiversity of the newly formed island?

-The biodiversity will decrease because there are fewer species on the newly formed island.

-The biodiversity will increase because the landmass is isolated from the island.

-There will be no change in the biodiversity of the newly formed island.

-The species on the island will likely have lower genetic diversity than the species on the mainland.

-The species on the island will have a higher risk of genetic mutations because they’re now on an island.
