Read the following statements and select the correct option.
(i) Increase in metained months after industrialisation in Great Britain is a proof for natural selection.
(ii) When more individuals of a population acquire a mean character value, it is called disruption.
(iii) Changes in allelic frequency in a population will lead to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
(iv) Genetic drift changes the existing gene or allelic frequency in future generations.

A

Only ii is correct.

B

Only iv is correct.

C

Both I and iv are correct.

D

Both I and ii are correct.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
