Q. No.If a random mating population is in equilibrium, which of the following brings about a change in gene frequency in a non-directional manner?
1. Mutations
2. Random drift
3. Selection
4. Migration
1. Mutations
2. Random drift
3. Selection
4. Migration
Random genetic drift in a population probably results from
1. highly genetically variable individuals.
2. inbreeding within this population
3. constant low mutation rate
4. large population size
In recent years, DNA sequences (nucleotide sequence) of mtDNA and Y chromosomes were considered for the study of human evolution, because
1. they are small, and therefore, easy to study
2. they are uniparental in origin and do not take part in recombination
3. their structure is known in greater detail.
4. they can be studied from the samples of fossil remains.
