Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

Remember that individuals do not evolve. Their genes do not change over time. The unit of evolution is the population. A population consists of organisms of the same species that live in the same area. In terms of evolution, the population is assumed to be a relatively closed group. This means that most mating takes place within the population. The science that focuses on evolution within populations is population genetics . It is a combination of evolutionary theory and Mendelian genetics.
