Genetic drift is the frequency of genes in a population; natural selection is the frequency of adaptations in a population. Genetic drift is the random increase or decrease of certain genes in a population; natural selection is not random. Genetic drift is the random increase or decrease of certain genes in a population; natural selection is not random. Genetic drift is the selection of random traits in a population; natural selection is the selection of specific traits.

Genetic drift is the random increase or decrease of certain genes in a population, while natural selection is the process where specific traits that are advantageous for survival and reproduction become more common in a population over time. In other words, genetic drift is a random process that can lead to changes in a population's genetic makeup, while natural selection is a non-random process that leads to the adaptation of populations to their environments.
