The factor that leads to genetic drift instead of 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, particularly in small populations, whereas natural selection is a non-random process that favorably selects for individuals with advantageous traits.
