Answer
Sewall Wright
Explanation
Solution
Sewall Green Wright was an American geneticist known for his influential work on evolutionary theory. The theory of random genetic drift was proposed by him. Genetic drift or allelic drift is the change in the frequency of a gene variant (allele) in a population due to random sampling. The effect of genetic drift is larger in small populations, and smaller in large populations.
