[Key Concept: Genetic Drift — Change in Allele
Frequency Across Generations] Genetic drift is the change in gene (allele)
frequency from one generation to the next due to random sampling effects,
particularly in small populations. It is not directional — changes occur by
chance rather than by natural selection, and can lead to fixation or loss of
alleles.
