The correct answer is:
NOT AVAILABLE

Genetic drift is a process in which there is random change in the number of alleles. In some cases the change in the allelic frequency leads to the formation of new population which is different from the parent population. It is known as founder effect. Mutation, genetic recombination and natural selection are not related to genetic drift.
