The interaction of genetic drift, mutation, and selection in a random environment is investigated using an asymptotic analysis, based on assumptions of weak mutation and strong selection. It is shown that genetic drift can be a potent force for removing variation from the population when the random environment tends to occasionally push alleles down to low frequencies.
