(c) Genetic drift is the mechanism of volution / recombination / replication/ translation.
(d) When two genes have the
same
expression of the character, then the phenomenon is known as Pleiotropy/Penetrance / Expressivity / Epistasis. (e) Linkage decreases as the distance
between two
genes
decreases /
increases/ unaffected / None of these.
