Genetic Drift

Mr. Andersen explains genetic drift, a random evolutionary change affecting allele frequencies in a gene pool. He uses graphs and a population simulator to illustrate how genetic drift varies with population size. The video also covers the bottleneck and founder effects, providing real-world examples like the northern elephant seal and Pingelap island, highlighting the impact of genetic drift on genetic diversity and species evolution.
