Introduction
In the evolution of a small population genetic drift is very effective, genetic drift is due to the random sampling of alleles in each generation. The effect of genetic drift is seen well when the population is small (Welsh 2011). The reason why genetic drift in so effective in a small population is mainly due to the smaller number of alleles to choose form when random sampling. Genetic drift is non-directional meaning that it does not only result in one outcome and can lead to an increase in either a recessive trait or a dominate trait from generation to generation (Welsh 2011) because of this there is a variation in the relative frequency of different genotypes, especially in a small population. This variation gives way to the
