| random genetic drift |
Genetic drift is a mechanism of evolution that acts in concert with natural selection to change the characteristics of species over time. It is a stochastic effect that arises from the role of random sampling in the production of offspring. Like selection, it acts on populations, altering the frequency of alleles and the predominance of traits amongst members of a population, and changing the diversity of the group. ...

Random fluctuations in allele frequencies between generations owing to sampling effects. It increases as the effective population size decreases.

| random genetic drift |
Fluctuation in the frequencies of neutral genes and neutral alleles in a population due to the fact that each generation is only a sample of the one it replaces.
