Which factor listed below most likely results in the loss of genetic variation from small populations?

A: Mutation

B: Genetic recombination

C: Genetic drift

D: Migration

Verified Answer :

Loss
of genetic variation from small populations results to Genetic drift

The
statement that best sums up evolution is the change in a population through
genetic variation over time. Natural selection may be through (1) differential reproduction, that is, not all organisms are
able to reproduce to their fullest capacity because nature cannot simply
sustain it and (2) acquire genes, that is heredity.
