E. coli cells were spread on an agar plate, producing 1000 colonies.  The colonies are replica plated on two agar plates containing the antibiotic kanamycin and one agar plate without antibiotics.  All of the colonies are able to grow on the agar plate without antibiotic but only 4 colonies are able to grow on each of the agar plates containing kanamycin.  You notice that the four colonies that grew on each of the kanamycin containing plates are in the exact same position.  This demonstrates

Balancing selection is a type of natural selection that balances two or more alleles in population allows maintaining genetic diversity. Which of the following allowed to this type of selection?

A- Heterozygote has the highest level of Fitness than normal homozygote

B- If rare phenotypes are favored over common phenotypes

C- Introduction of new allele in to a population by mutation and allowed to higher fitness in individuals

D- One homozygote has a highest level of fitness than heterozygote and another homozygote

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?
