    Genetic Drift Genetic drift‚ also known as allelic drift‚ is the change in the number of gene variants‚ alleles‚ in a population because of random sampling. The allele frequency in a population is the fraction of the copies of one gene that share a specific form. The alleles in the offspring are a sample of gene variants in its parents. Chance plays a part in whether one survives and carries its genes on‚ or does not. Genetic drift may cause gene variants to disappear completely resulting in reduced
