Correct answer: C. Allelic frequency
- A. Gene pool
- B. Allelic ratio
- C. Allelic frequency
- D. None of the above

About Evolution
Evolution describes heritable change in populations over generations through variation, natural selection and adaptation. Lamarckism explains inheritance of acquired characteristics, while Darwinism explains selection of favourable inherited variations; these historical explanations must not be confused with the modern genetic account of evolutionary change.
