The factor that leads to genetic drift rather than natural selection is:
**Genetic variation is random and frequency changes each generation.**
Genetic drift is a random process that affects allele frequencies in a population, especially in small populations, whereas natural selection involves differential survival and reproduction based on advantageous traits.
