Meanings of random drift in English

For finite populations, we provide an extension taking random drift into account.

I guessed that language evolution is instead governed by random drift.

In small compartments, genetic instability, which confers a selective disadvantage for the cell, can spread by random drift.

Language evolves in a quasi-biological way and the direction its evolution takes looks undirected, pretty much like random drift.

First, we obtain the dynamics of the sample cytonuclear disequilibria assuming random drift alone as the source of genetic sampling variation.

Next, we develop a test statistic using cytonuclear disequilibria via the theory of generalized least squares to test the random drift model.

In the limit of neutral selection, i.e., whenever the process is determined by random drift and mutations, the stationary strategy distribution is derived.
