There are many ways that the genetic drift effected saber-toothed tigers. These tigers grew apart from the loved ones they knew.

Types of genetic drift?
Founder effect & Bottleneck effect.
Why is large population size important in maintaining genetic equilibrium?
Genetic drift has less effect on large populations.
When genetic drift occurs due to a dramatic reduction in population?
the bottle neck effect
What is genic drift?
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.
One consequence of genetic drift is?
Genetic drift usually only has effect on the genetic diversity of small populations of a species. Often times, genetic drift can greatly reduce the diversity of a population if a significant percent of members of the population leave by a chance event (as opposed to natural selection.) This means that their alleles for various genes leave with them. Genetic drift does not always effect genetic diversity. Most of the time, it is the allele frequency that is affected by genetic drift. For example, if there are 60 long-finned bass and 40 short-finned bass living in a pond, the gene frequency ratio is 3:2. If 25 short-finned are fished out, the allele frequency is now 4:1. If all or most of the members of a population carrying a specific gene were removed from the population because of genetic drift, that would effect the genetic diversity.
Genetic drift tens to occur in populations that?
Genetic drift has a larger effect on smaller populations.
Types of genetic drift?
Founder effect & Bottleneck effect.
A random change in a population's allele frequency?
Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. By mutation, genetic drift, gene flow and natural selection.
What is the term for changes in allele frequency that that happen randomly from one generation to the next?
Genetic drift

Genetic drift resulting from a disaster that drastically reduces population size is called?
The bottleneck effect.
Is genetic drift an example of macroevolution?
No, genetic drift is an example of microevolution.
What condition is necessary for genetic drift to have a significant effect on a population A natural disaster must occur. The population needs to be small. Gene flow must occur. A portion of the p?
The population needs to be small is the necessary condition for genetic drift to have a significant effect on populations.
What small genetic change such as a single mutation may result in?
genetic drift....
