CAUSES OF GENETIC DRIFT

Genetic drift in a small population over multiple generations can significantly affect the composition of a population’s gene pool.

Founder effect

A few individuals form a population start a new population with a different allele frequency than the original population.

Sampling error can arise is through the founder effect, which results from the establishment of a population by a small number of individuals.

Genetic bottleneck

Genetic drift arises is through a genetic bottleneck, which develops when a population undergoes a drastic reduction in size
