R u sure? i have written "D". But , In Wikipedia, atavism also means the same. Can I get mark?

I know of genetic drift, but I've never heard of genetic draft; what is it? Atavism is most likely the answer.

anonymous · Answer

The option "D" is actually "Genetic Drift". Sorry for typing mistake.

rogue · Answer

Genetic drift is the change in the frequency of an allele in a population due to random events, so that is obviously not the answer then. :P
