    Random genetic drift in a population leads to

    A)  highly genetically variable individuals

    B)  increased inbreeding within a population

    C)  constant low mutation rate

    D)  large population size

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Genetic drift is a process in which allele frequencies within a population change by chance alone as a result of sampling error from generation to generation. It is a random process that can lead to large changes in populations over a short period of time. It increases the inbreeding coefficient and increases homozygosity as a result of removing alleles.
