Selection Effectiveness

The degree to which natural selection is able to influence the frequency of alleles in a population, impacting genetic diversity.

Founder Effect

A genetic phenomenon that occurs when a new population is established by a very small number of individuals, leading to significant genetic drift.

Allele Frequencies

The relative frequencies of all the different alleles of a gene in a given population.

Genetic Drift

The process in which allele frequencies within a population change randomly with no influence from selective pressures, often affecting smaller populations more significantly.
