what is genetic drift?
transfer of genes from one species to another
random changes in the allele frequencies of a population over time
migration of individuals from one population to another
shuffling of exons of different genes to create new genes with novel functions
Genetic drift is defined as the random fluctuations in allele frequencies in a population over successive generations, often due to chance events like the survival or death of a small number of individuals. The other options describe gene - transfer between species (horizontal gene transfer), migration (gene flow), and exon - shuffling for new gene creation, which are different from genetic drift.
