A genetic drift is defines as the change in the allele frequency of an existing population. It arises as a result of random variation in a population. The rate of genetic drift would be greatest in a small population that are geographically isolated from the parent population. A change in the allele frequency of a population as a result of chance rather than the natural selection.
