The smaller a population, the greater the potential effect of genetic drift on gene frequencies.
Genetic drift is an evolutionary term which refers to the random changes in a population's allele frequencies. These changes happen by chance due to the random selection of alleles from the genetic pool in each generation. Genetic drift can lead to either loss of some alleles or the fixation of others (100% frequency). The effect of genetic drift is stronger in smaller populations. This is because, the larger the population, the larger the sample size and the slower the result of genetic drift.

Explain how it is possible to have thousands of different protiens when there are only 20
solmaris [256]
This is possible because proteins are created from different combinations of amino-acids. While we only have 20 different kinds of aminoacids, these 20 kinds can create thousands of combinations that we can observe in our bodies and bodies of other mammals as well as other organisms.
