3.Mutations.
4.Sexual selections.
5.Random selections
6.Natural selection.

Genetic drift is a change in allele frequencies due to chance.

Gene flow is the movement of alleles between populations.

Mutations produce the genetic variation needed for evolution.

Natural selection selects for traits advantageous for survival.
