    genetic drift causes the change in gene frequency by chance in a small population, the individual alleles of a gene are represented by a few individuals in a population, these will be lost if these individuals fail to reproduce, frequencies appear to change randomly and if the frequencies were drifting, thus, a random loss of allele in small population is genetic drift.
