Assertion (A ) `:` Gene flow increase genetic variations.
Reason (R ) `:` The random introduction of new alleles into recipient population and their removal from the donor population affects allele frequency.

A

Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion

B

Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion

C

Assertion is true, but Reason is false

D

Assertion is false, but reason is true

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Gene flow is the movement of alleles from one population to another as a result of interbreeding between the members of two populations. The random introduction of new alleles into the recipient population and their removal from the donor population affects the allele frequency of both population and leads to increased genetic variation

State and explain any three factors affecting allele frequency in population.

Fill up the balnks in the following paragraph by selecting the correct option. When migration of a section of population to another place and population occurs, I change in the original as well as in the new population new genes/ alleles are added to the ii, population and these are lost from the population. These would be a iv if this gene migration, happens multiple times. if the same change occurs by chance, it is called v. sometimes the change in allele frequency is so different in the new sample of population that they become a diffrent species. The original drifted population becomes founders and the effect is called vi
