Correct answer: Genetic drift

Genetic drift is defined as the process in which the allele frequency of a population is changed by chance or due to random changes in the environment. It is a random process that can lead to large changes in the overall population in a short period of time. It is a mechanism of evolution and it does produce the adaptation.
