Solution

The correct option is A DNA polymorphism
  • DNA polymorphism can be defined as a condition where more than one different normal nucleotide sequences can exist at the same locus in DNA.
  • These two different alleles are the product of single base-pair mutation, deletions, insertions, etc.
  • The polymorphic DNA contains a variable sequence which may lead to the expression of a various random gene which brings a remarkable change in the gene pool.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
