Bottleneck effect: the reduction in the number of organisms
and Founders effect: the migration of a few individuals to a new area.

Genetic drift is more likely to occur in small populations where chance plays a significant role in determining the frequency of alleles. It can also happen in isolated populations or during population bottlenecks where genetic diversity is reduced.
This is called genetic divergence. Over time, accumulated genetic differences between populations can lead to the formation of new species through a process known as speciation. This can occur through various mechanisms such as natural selection, genetic drift, and isolation.
Mutations that occur in individual members of a population do not add new allies to a population gene pool. Instead, new allies can be introduced through processes like gene flow, genetic drift, and natural selection.
Evolution is defined as any change in the relative frequency of alleles (different forms of genes) in a population over time. This change can occur through processes such as natural selection, genetic drift, mutation, and gene flow.
The condition necessary for genetic drift to have a significant effect on a population is when the population size is small. In smaller populations, genetic drift can lead to random changes in allele frequencies, impacting the overall genetic diversity of the population.
Genetic drift is caused by random sampling errors in a population's gene pool. These errors can occur during processes like genetic recombination, migration, or founder events, leading to changes in allele frequencies over generations. The smaller the population, the greater the impact of genetic drift.
Genetic drift has a larger effect on smaller populations.

False. Genetic drift is more likely to occur in small populations where chance events can have a greater impact on allele frequencies. In large populations, genetic drift is typically less influential compared to other evolutionary forces.
genetic drift, mutation, natural selection, and migration
Genetic drift may occur when a small group of individuals colonizes a new habitat. These individuals may carry alleles in different relative frequencies than did the larger population from which they came.

Genetic drift is a product of random sampling. Like all forms of sampling or selection, variation within the sample set is required. Thus for genetic drift to occur genetic change (mutation) is required. However, it would be an error to call genetic drift a product of genetic change.
