Oooh! Another one. Minimal viable population
The upshot of this is that all the pairs of animals saved on the ark would then die out due to lack of genetic diversity. Adam and Eve too. If they had existed then their off-spring would have only been able to reproduce via incestuous relationships.
Quote:Minimum viable population (MVP) is a lower bound on the population of a species, such that it can survive in the wild. This term is used in the fields of biology, ecology, and conservation biology. More specifically, MVP is the smallest possible size at which a biological population can exist without facing extinction from natural disasters or demographic, environmental, or genetic stochasticity.[1]
