Genetic drift tends to occur in populations that:
**a. are small**
Genetic drift is a mechanism of evolution that causes changes in allele frequencies within a population, and it has a more pronounced effect in smaller populations due to the reduced genetic variation and increased likelihood of random fluctuations in allele frequencies.
