Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Genetic drift is the random fluctuation of gene frequencies in a small, isolated population due to chance events, such as death or emigration of individuals. In a large population, genetic drift is less significant compared to other evolutionary forces like natural selection, mutation, and gene flow. Therefore, genetic drift is most significant in a small population.
