Genetic drift is change in allele frequencies due to random chance events.
Two types are the Founder effect and the Bottleneck effect.
The founder effect is when a subset of a population goes to a new are where there are no other of that same species.
The bottleneck effect is when a large population is reduced to a small population.
Genetic drift decreases variation in a population and has a greater effect on a smaller population than a larger one.
