Genetic Drift
Genetic drift is the process of change to gene frequencies in a population over time due to chance events. It affects the genetic composition of a population, leading to changes in the frequency of specific alleles, and can cause harmful effects if left unchecked. Genetic drift is a significant factor influencing the evolutionary process, and its effects can be seen even in small populations. It is also a powerful tool used in population genetics and evolutionary biology, allowing researchers to study the effects of genetic drift on the evolution of a species.
