A Mutation occurring in the population will change the allelic ratio.
<h3>What is evolution?</h3>
Evolution refers to the changes that occurs in organisms over a long period of time such that those changes results in new species better adapted to their environment and having higher specialization.
One of the factors of evolution is mutation.
According to the Hardy-Weinberg principle, the allele and genotype frequencies of a population of organism in equilibrium will remain constant in the absence of evolutionary influences.
Therefore, if a mutation occurs in the population, the allelic ratio will change.

Mutations can be categorized based on the kind of effect they have on an organism. Blue eyes in humans are a result of a mutation in the OCA2 gene, which controls the production of pigment melanin in the iris.
This mutation is an example of a neutral mutation. Such mutations have no effect on an organism’s survival.
The energy for ATP synthesis comes from organic molecules (such as carbohydrates), or from sunlight, or from inorganic electron donors. We can classify organisms according to their source of energy and organic carbon:
<span><span>heterotrophs – get energy and organic carbon from metabolism of pre-existing organic compounds (food)</span><span>photoautotrophs – use energy from sunlight to make ATP and their own organic carbon compounds from carbon dioxide chemoautotrophs</span><span> – use energy from inorganic chemicals to make ATP and their own organic carbon compounds from carbon dioxide</span></span>
Metabolic pathways carry out reactions that capture energy from these various sources (organic compounds, sunlight or chemicals) and couple them to synthesis of ATP from ADP.
I think it’s C I’m not 100% sure tho
