Answer:

1a. False

1b. False

Explanation:

They are genetic clones which make them identical so there is no difference in phenotype which is the key mechanism for evolution to occur through natural selection.

- since they are of one phenotype(genetically identical) genetic drift can not occur. For genetic drift to occur, there must be a change in the frequency of one allele within a population over a period of time and this genetic variation must occur randomly for a genetic drift to occur.
