Question

Statement I : Polymorphism is important for evolution and speciation.\ Statement II : Allelic sequence variation has traditionally been described as a DNA polymorphism if more than 1 variant at a locus occur in human population with frequency greater than 0.01 .\

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(a) : Polymorphism ( variation at genetic level) arises due to mutations. In DNA polymorphism, more than one variant (allele) at a locus occurs in human population with a frequency greater than 0.01 . It is important for speciation and evolution.
