Please assess the lowercase-Roman-numeral-labelled statements that appear immediately below and click the uppercase-letter-labelled response that is presented below and conveys the most accurate information. i. Linkage disequilibrium measurements may be utilised to infer the history for alleles. ii. Proportions for alleles in linkage disequilbrium may be used in models involving selection, genetic drift, or migration to estimate when an allele originated in a population. iii. The allele CCR5-Δ32 is common among European populations possibly because selection operated positively on individuals containing the allele when the bubonic plague pandemic swept through northern Europe in the 14TH century. iv. The allele CCR5-Δ32 is common among European populations possibly because genetic drift effects allowed frequencies to fluctuate stochastically over several thousand years to its current level. v. The allele CCR5-Δ32 possibly originated several thousand years ago. Question 2 options: A) Statements i, ii, and iii convey accurate information. B) All statements convey accurate information. C) Statement iii conveys inaccurate information, as this hypothesis has been falsified. D) Statement iv conveys inaccurate information because no phenomenon involving genetic drift can be predicted (whether about the future or past). E) Statements i, ii, iv, and v convey accurate information.
