During this first phase, evolution in small populations is dominated bygeneticdrift (Figure 2(a)).Geneticdrift is a function ofpopulation size: in very small populations, even selected alleles tend to behave as if they are neutral. Wright envisioned that this drift occurring in subpopulations allo...

Genetic drift happens by chance and can make an allele disappear completely from a gene pool, even if it was a desirable trait that should have been passed down to offspring. The random sampling style of genetic drift shrinks the gene pool and therefore alters the frequency the alleles are fo...
Natural selection happens when individuals developed from certain gametes are more likely to survive and reproduce. Genetic drift, together with mutation and recombination, randomly produces the gametes that selection can act on. Or, if there is no selection, allele frequencies can change by mutation...
Evolution happens when there is a change in the genetics of a population. Evolution can be caused by several processes including genetic drift and natural selection. Answer and Explanation:1 Genetic drift is different from natural selection because genetic drift occurs due to random chance. In genet...

We can also understand it as the change occurring due to the sampling error in the selection of the alleles. It happens in the upcominggenerationfrom the gene pool of the current generation. Examples of Genetic Drift To exemplify the genetic drift, let’s take a hypothetical example of a pop...
happens via evolution and is, in urban environments, most commonly attributed to changes in natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow19,20,21. Specifically, the widespread habitat fragmentation characteristic of urban environments is frequently implicated in reports of heightened genetic drift ...

the birds engage in a process that produces something called heteroaglandular poison — i.e. poison produced as a result of consuming a certain toxin which is then re-used by the bird for its own defenses. This happens when the birds eat poisonous plants or animals, and since the birds ...
