    Answer / Explanation:

    In small populations, the relative effect of genetic drift is higher because deleterious alleles can become more frequent by chance, and less common alleles have a greater chance of being permanently lost. This reduces the genetic variation in the population.

    Large populations are less likely to change quickly as a result of genetic drift, this is due to chance
