Which statement describes genetic drift?

• Genetic drift is the change in the frequency of an existing gene variant in a population due to random sampling of organisms.

• Genetic drift is the process by which organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.

• Genetic drift is the transfer of genetic variation from one population to another.

• Genetic drift is the change in the structure of a gene leading to a new trait.
