Close inbreeding is harmful because it increases the proportion of homozygotes and thereby boosts the probability that deleterious and lethal recessive alleles.

When a population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the genotypic frequencies are determined by the allelic  frequencies.

Genetic drift 

Genetic drift is an evolutionary force, in which allelic frequency change over generation Just by chance (sampling error). 

The deviations from the expected ratios are random, the direction of change is unpredictable.

RS Configuration 

Atoms of higher atomic number rank above those of lower atomic number (e.g., —OH ranks above —CH3). If the first substituent atoms are identical, the priority is established by the next atom outward from the chiral center (e.g., —CH2OH takes precedence over —CH3).
