Describe two processes through which rare alleles might become more frequent in a population

Inbreeding: inbreeding brings out more recessive alleles in a population, as they are more exposed and then eventually become more common.

Isolation: if a group of a species becomes isolated from another group of the species, these individuals mate with eachother and as the population of the isolated species grows, the recessive alleles will show.
