Definitions / Explanation : Genetic drift & Gene migration (gene flow)

 

If mating is random, population is large and mutation does not occur; then gene frequencies of population from generation to generation remain constant. This was put forwarded by

The tendency of population to remain in genetic equilibrium may be disturbed by
