A country with a high rate of population growth took measures to reduce it. The figure below shows age-sex pyramids of populations. A and B twenty years apart. Select the correct interpretation about them
Interpretations
'A' is more recent and shows slight reduction in the growth rate
'B' is earlier pyramid and shows stabilised
'B' is more recent showing that population is very young
'B' is more recent showing that population is very young

What is true about the isolated small tribal populations?

Hereditary diseases like colour blindness do not spread in the isolated population
Wrestlers who develop strong body muscles in their lifetime pass this character on their progeny
Wrestlers who develop strong body muscles in their lifetime pass this character on their progeny
B.
Hereditary diseases like colour blindness do not spread in the isolated population
The population can be defined as a group or assemblage of organisms of the same species that live at a given time in a particular area. In human beings a dominant X- linked gene is necessary for the formation of colour sensitive cells the cones, in the retina of the eye. The recessive form of this gene is incapable of producing the colour sensitive cones and homozygous recessive female and hemizygous recessive males are unable to distinguish between these two colours. As the isolated population do not have any hereditary diseases like colour blindness, so they do not spread accordingly.
According to the theory of inheritance of acquired characters of Lamarck the Wrestlers, who develop strong body muscles in their lifetime, must pass this character onto their progeny, but this is not found true.
Gene pool is defined as the sum total of genes present in a Mendelian population. The study of gene pools tells us the total number of genes, their kinds and variety present in the population.
