उत्तर
When a population is small, there is a greater chance of genetic drift.
Explanation:
This is because genetic drift refers to random changes in gene frequencies that are more pronounced in small or isolated populations. Chance events can lead to the loss or increase of alleles by chance alone, reducing genetic variation within that population. Genetic drift can lead to a decrease in heterozygosity and increase the number of homozygotes.
