Genetic drift is the term used in population genetics to refer to the statistical drift over time of allele frequencies in a finite population due to random sampling effects in the formation of successive generations.

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.

Random genetic drift is a stochastic process (by definition). One aspect of genetic drift is the random nature of transmitting alleles from one generation to the next given that only a fraction of all possible zygotes become mature adults.

Genetic drift is a evolutionary concept, a genetic concept, that states that changes in genes and gene pools can arise for random rather than for adaptive reasons.

genetic drift Random changes in the frequency of alleles from generation to generation; especially in small populations, can lead to the elimination of a particular allele by chance alone.

Genetic Drift
As we have seen, interbreeding often is limited to the members of local populations. If the population is small, Hardy-Weinberg may be violated.

Genetic drift
Main article: Genetic drift
Genetic drift describes changes in gene frequency that cannot be ascribed to selective pressures, but are due instead to events that are unrelated to inherited traits.

genetic drift. Random change in allelic frequencies in a population occurring by chance. In small populations, genetic variation at a locus may be lost by chance fixation or a single allelic variant.

Genetic drift
: Evolutionary change over generations due to random events in small populations (not to be mixed with sampling error due to a small sample size). It operates unless overcome by strong selective forces.

Genetic drift was embraced as an additional mechanism in the so-called modern synthesis.
