Answer:in

Effect of small numbers of individuals on changes in the frequencies of an allele

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition population genetics studies the changes in genetic variation of a population, this involves the modelling of changes in the frequencies of genes and alleles.

For example if an organism is born with a color that enhances its reproduction that population may change drastically in appearance, on the contrary if the allele causes a genetic disease, the population numbers might decrease.
