Vocab

Coevolution: process in which two interacting species evolve together, with each species influencing the other’s evolution
Genetic drift: an overall shift of allele distribution in an isolated population, due to random sampling
Founder effect: a decrease in genetic variation that occurs when an entire population descends from a small number of founders
Random sampling: a subset of individuals (a sample) chosen from a larger set (a population) by chance
