What is true about the isolated small tribal populations?

A

Wrestlers who develop strong body muscles in their lifetime pass this character on their progeny

B

There is no change in population size as they have a large gene pool

C

There is a decline in population as boys marry girls only from their own tribe

D

(AIIMS-2018)

Solution

Change in population density gives an idea of what is happening to the population. whether it is increasing or declining. This population density depends on natality, mortality, immigration and emigration. In an isolated small tribal population, if boys marry their own tribal girls then there will be decline in population because at some stage marriage will stop due to isolation and on the other hand marriages within same tribe will lead to homozygosity of disease and ultimately death, thus leading to decline in population.
