genetic drift I believe because it means variation in the relative frequency of different genotypes in a small population, owing to the chance disappearance of particular genes as individuals die or do not reproduce.

Answer:

Genetic Drift

Explanation:

Natural events, such as earthquakes or floods, can often cause genetic drift. Imagine a population of foxes with both solid and striped tails. If a forest fire kills half of the foxes with striped tails, it will cause genetic drift. Most of the surviving foxes will have solid tails, and this trait will be passed on to future generations more often than a striped tail.
