(i) | Diversifying (disruptive) selection is a mode of natural selection that favours variants of opposite extremes over intermediate forms |
(ii) | In the evolution of life on Earth, the early primitive cells that were present must have obtained their energy by glycolysis and fermentation |
(iii) | Darwin's theory of evolution was highly influenced by the Mendel's crossing experiments with peas |
(iv) | Hardy-Weinberg's principle can be used to interpret whether evolution has occurred in a population or not |
(v) | The half-life of carbon-14 is approximately 5730 years |
