1. True, but Genetic Drift doesn't have much to do with the concept...
2. False. That's not what genetic drift says. That's what natural selection says. What genetic drift says is that if a trait is neither beneficial nor harmful, it can spread just by random matings. For example, there is no advantage or disadantage of blue eyes over green eyes, so the relative percentages of these in the population can go up or down randomly. That is genetic drift.
3. false; that has more to do with natural selection than with genetic drift. Genetic drift is when the population's genes change
