Founder effect- isolation of few individuals from larger population; new population forms with different gene pool.
Bottleneck effect- Drastic reduction of population size leading to a restrictive gene pool in wich the population must use to recover. Forms population with different gene pool.

What are the two types of genetic drift?
There are two types of genetic drift, there is a the population bottle neck effect and the founder effect. The population bottle neck effect is when a population greatly decreases in size due to some random ecological event and the small population has a greater chance of genetic variation. The founder effect is a variation of the bottle neck effect in which a small portion of a larger population to branch off or get "isolated" from the larger population and have a greater chance of genetic variation. Have fun and hope this helps.
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 will prevent genetic drift?
Genetic drift or allelic drift is the change in the frequency of a gene variant (allele) in a population due to random sampling.[1] The alleles in the offspring are a sample of those in the parents, and chance has a role in determining whether a given individual survives and reproduces. A population's allele frequency is the fraction of the copies of one gene that share a particular form.[2] Genetic drift may cause gene variants to disappear completely and thereby reduce genetic variation.When there are few copies of an allele, the effect of genetic drift is larger, and when there are many copies the effect is smaller. Vigorous debates occurred over the relative importance of natural selection versus neutral processes, including genetic drift. Ronald Fisher held the view that genetic drift plays at the most a minor role in evolution, and this remained the dominant view for several decades. In 1968 Motoo Kimura rekindled the debate with his neutral theory of molecular evolution, which claims that most instances where a genetic change spreads across a population (although not necessarily changes in phenotypes) are caused by genetic drift.
In what kinds of situations is genetic drift likely to occur?
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 can best be described as?
D) the change in frequencies of alleles due to random events
What is the term for changes in allele frequency that that happen randomly from one generation to the next?
Genetic drift
Types of genetic drift?
There are two main types of genetic drift: population bottleneck and founder effect. Population bottleneck occurs when a population's size is drastically reduced, leading to a loss of genetic diversity. Founder effect occurs when a small group of individuals establishes a new population with limited genetic variation.
What are the main types of forces?
motion and natural selection and genetic drift.
Is genetic drift an adaptive change?
Genetic drift is considered a form of evolution. If a single population is split into two isolated groups then genetic drift will result in increasing differences over time. Eventually they will become two different species, unable to interbreed even if the two groups are brought back together.
What types of population does genetic drift affect?
Isolated populations can lose genetic diversity through genetic drift. This is because some alleles can be lost by chance. Many more homozygous individuals are likely.
Is genetic drift an example of macroevolution?
No, genetic drift is an example of microevolution.
What are the two types of genetic drift?
There are two types of genetic drift, there is a the population bottle neck effect and the founder effect. The population bottle neck effect is when a population greatly decreases in size due to some random ecological event and the small population has a greater chance of genetic variation. The founder effect is a variation of the bottle neck effect in which a small portion of a larger population to branch off or get "isolated" from the larger population and have a greater chance of genetic variation.

What small genetic change such as a single mutation may result in?
genetic drift....
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.
How can a genetic drift be explained in biology?
A genetic drift is explained in biology as a gene variant changing frequency. Genetic drift can cause genes to disappear and not be passed onto the next generation.
What are the two types of glacial drift are?
Till and stratified drift :D Did you get this from Portola MS in 6th grade workbook for Science?
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.
