Which of the following is correct about genetic drift? I.Genetic drift is called as Sewall Wright effect II. Genetic drift increases genetic variability with in a small population IV. Genetic drift is more effective in large population

Assertion: Genetic drift refers to changes in the allele frequency occuring by chance. Reason: Sampling errors often lead to the elimination of certain alleles and fixation of others, reducing genetic variability.
