In a population of 1000 individuals, 360 belong to genotype AA, 480 to Aa and the remaining 160 to aa. Based on this data, the frequency of allele A in the population is:

1. 0.4 2. 0.5
3. 0.6 4. 0.7

Variation in gene frequencies within populations can occur by chance rather than by natural selection. 
This is referred to as:

1. Genetic drift

2. Random mating

3. Genetic load

4. Genetic flow

Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): Deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is evidence of evolutionary change within a population.
Reason (R): Genetic drift, gene flow, mutation, non-random mating, or natural selection can lead to deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
 
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.
