Consider the given statements regarding Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and the conditions affecting it:
I It states that, provided some pre-conditions are met with, allele frequencies in a population are stable and constant from generation to generation.
II Change of frequency of alleles in a population is interpreted as resulting in evolution.
III If the change in frequency of alleles in a population occurs by chance, it is called genetic drift.
IV In a population at genetic equilibrium if the frequency of recessive allele is 0.3 then about 42% of the population will be heterozygous for the trait.
V Natural selection can lead to disruption when more individuals acquire value other than the mean character value.

The number of correct statements is:
1.    2
2.    3
3.    4
4.    5

Consider the given statements regarding evidences of evolution:
I. Paleontological evidence deals with the fossils that are generally found in sedimentary rocks.
II. Karl Ernst von Baer said that embryos pass through the adult stages of other animals.
III. Homology is based on divergent evolution whereas analogy is based on convergent evolution.
IV. The thorn and tendrils of Bougainvillea and Cucurbita represent homology and Sweet potato and potato represent analogy.
V. In industrial melanism, the dark melanic form was repeatedly wiped out but arose again and again by a recurring mutation.

The correct statements are:
1.    I, III and IV only
2.    I, II and V only
3.    I, II, III and IV only
4.    II, III, IV and V only
