Q. Harmful mutation does not get eliminated from the gene pool because they are mainly
A) Dominant, which have beneficial effect on population and carried by heterozygous individuals
B) Dominant, which have beneficial effect on population and carried by homozygous individuals
C) Carried from one generation to another generation through autosomal chromosomes
D) They show genetic drift
