Which of the following can be random processes?
1 genetic drift
2 mutations
3 artificial selection
1. 2 and 3 only
2. 1, 2 and 3
3. 1 and 2 only
4. none of them
The increase in the frequency of one phenotype in a wild population of fish could be due to:
a. | an advantageous mutation. |
b. | increased reproductive success of individuals with that phenotype. |
c. | a change in the environment. |
1. c only
2. a and b only
3. a, b and c
4. b and c only
a: | Gene flow occurs through migration of individuals |
b: | Does not affect allele frequencies in the original population |
c: | Gene flow changes allele frequencies in the new population |
Assertion(A): | Gene flow increases genetic variations. |
Reason(R): | Random introduction of new alleles into recipient population and their removal from donor population affect allele frequency. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is true but (R) is false. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
Assertion(A): | Branching descent and natural selection are the two key concepts of Darwinian theory. |
Reason(R): | Hardy-Weinberg's equilibrium is not affected by Darwinian natural selection. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is true but (R) is false. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
Assertion (A): | The probability of genotype Aa is 2pq in the Hardy-Weinberg population. |
Reason (R): | Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, p2 +2pq+q2=1. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is true, but (R) is false. |
4. | (A) is false, but (R) is true. |
