Question

Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given.
Most of the variation we see in coat colouration and pattern in a population of wild mustangs in any generation are probably due to

• A. sexual recombination of alleles
• B. genetic drift due to the small size of the. population
• C. geographic variation within the population
• D. environmental effects

Answer 1

The correct option is A sexual recombination of alleles

Sexual recombination and mutation rate are theorized to play different roles in adaptive evolution depending on the fitness landscape. By sexual recombination variation occurs, which help wild mustangs to get the coat coloration and pattern.

So the correct option is A, Sexual recombination of alleles.
