Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Genetic drift tends to occur in populations that
A
are very large
B
are small
C
are formed from new species
D
have unchanging allele frequencies
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Small populations tend to lose genetic diversity more quickly than large populations due to stochastic sampling error (i.e., genetic drift). This is because some versions of a gene can be lost due to random chance, and this is more likely to occur when populations are small.
