Answer:

inbreeding

genetic bottleneck

founder effect

Step-by-step explanation:

These different types of genetic drift change the allelic frequencies in a population through chance.

Inbreeding, genetic drift, restricted gene flow, and small population size all contribute to a reduction in genetic diversity. Fragmented and threatened populations are typically exposed to these conditions, which is likely to increase their risk of extinction
