Genetic drift affects these populations more significantly ____
A
small populations
B
large populations
C
all populations equally
D
large and small populations the same
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.
