Answer: Genetic drift

Step-by-step explanation:

Genetic drift can be define as the change in the frequency of variation of genes in the population that occurs due to random sampling of the organisms. These genetic variations will be responsible whether the organism will survive and reproduce or not. In this mechanism the allele frequencies change over generations due to chance that is due to random sampling.
