Genetic drift in a small population for multiple generations can significantly affect the composition of a population’s gene pool. Following some observation are given for reason of Genetic drift?

A) Small populations are threatened by a loss of genetic variability. This loss may be caused by inbreeding, genetic drift, and limited mating.

B) Sampling error can arise is through the founder effect, which is due to the limited matting within population

C) Genetic drift arises is through a genetic bottleneck, which develops when a population undergoes a drastic reduction in population size.

D) Variance in allele frequency due to genetic drift will be maximal when one allele is very rare and the population size is small.

Which of the above observation are true?

A pure-breeding strain of squash that produced disk-shaped fruits was crossed with a pure breeding strain having long fruits. The F1 had disk fruits, but the F2 showed a new phenotype, sphere, and was composed of the following proportions

Disk  384            

Sphere 96

 Long  32

A snapdragon plant that bred true for white petals was crossed to a plant that bred true for purple petals, and all the F1 had white petals. The F1 was selfed. Among the F2, three phenotypes were observed in the following numbers

white                              240

solid-purple                    61

spotted-purple                19

Total                              320

Which of the following reason to deviation f2 phenotype ratio ?
