The false statement is that If a population is large enough, it will not experience random genetic drift.

  • Genetic drift is known to be change in allele frequencies in a population from generation to generation. it often takes place due to chance events.

Genetic drift does happens in populations of all sizes. its effects is much stronger in small populations.

In larger populations, any specific allele is carried by so many individuals that it is almost certain to be transmitted by some of them only if it is biologically not necessary.

Conclusively, small populations lose genetic diversity more quickly due to stochastic sampling error such as genetic drift.
