16.  Genetic drift happens by __________?
17.  Does everyone get to breed in a population?
18.  What are the two different causes of genetic drift?
19.  T/F Fewer mating events in a small population give more chance that all alleles will be passed on
20.  Iguana island population is an example of which type of genetic drift?
21.  Which type of genetic drift leads to a different allele frequency in the new population that was caused by chance events?
