Generation

**Genetic drift** is the random change in allele frequencies across generations due to chance sampling events, with effects most pronounced in small populations. It matters because it can cause populations to lose genetic diversity regardless of natural selection, potentially leading to the fixation of harmful alleles or loss of beneficial ones purely by chance. This makes drift a major evolutionary force, particularly in endangered species, founder populations, and population bottlenecks where random events can override adaptive processes.
