Answer:
Genetic drift is when chance events cause changes in frequencies of alleles in a population.
Natural selection occurs because some alleles confer higher fitness, whereas genetic drift occurs because of sampling error. ... Natural selection tends to cause very rapid evolution, whereas genetic drift tends to operate on much longer time scales.
