Explanation / Answer

1. Mutation provides the raw material for natural selection. In the absence of any other process it is a dominant evolutionary force.

Additional Information:

Natural selection is a phenomenon which results in the adaptation of an organism with its environment. It occurs by the mutation of the organism at their gene level.

2. The " founder effect" is caused by genetic drift.

Additional Information :

The founder effect is a type of genetic drift which is the loss of genetic variation ,occurs when a new population is established from a very small number of individuals, which are the part of a larger population .
