<span> (1) gene frequencies may be changed by migration, gene flow from another population. (2) in small populations, gene frequencies can be changed via random sampling -- this is known as genetic drift. (3) mutation pressure and (4) non-Mendelian segregation (meiotic drive) may also change gene pools. However, by far the most important agent of evolution is (5) natural selection, which operates by </span>differential reproductive success<span> of individuals.
