-Genetic drift, gene flow, and natural selection cause most evolutionary change




Genetic Drift


✓ -:- Chance events cause the allele frequency of a small population to

fluctuate unpredictably




-Founder Effect, small sub population goes somewhere else


-Bottleneck Effect, natural disaster, sudden change in environment
