In a long term experiment on a population of Drosophila melanogaster, the frequency of two alleles 'a' and 'b' of a multi-allelic locus X over time has been shown in the following graph.

Question Image

6 students were asked to evaluate the observed pattern and their inferences are given below.

Student 1: Environment is not uniformly selective.

Student 2: Population may be under artificial selection.

Student 3: Genetic variability is progressively reduced.

Student 4: Genetic variability is progressively increased.

Student 5: Mechanism such as genetic drift is operating from time to time.

Student 6: Selection is favouring a particular genotype through directional selection.

The appropriate conclusions were drawn by
