Discuss the concept ‘Genetic Drift’ with suitable diagrams. 

Genetic drift is a fundamental concept in population genetics that describes the random fluctuations in allele frequencies within a population over time. It is a result of chance events, rather than natural selection, and can have significant effects on the genetic makeup of a population. Genetic drift is particularly influential in small populations and can lead to the loss or fixation of alleles. To better understand this concept, let's explore genetic drift using suitable diagrams.

Diagram 1:
In this diagram, we have a population of butterflies with two alleles, A and a, for a particular gene. The initial allele frequencies are represented as p and q, respectively. The size of the circle represents the population size.

Initial population:                p (A)              q (a)
                                           ↓                    ↓
                                       ┌─┐                ┌─┐
                                        │A│                │a│
                                       └─┘                └─┘
