Which of the following conditions accurately represent Muller's ratchet,in terms of the selective advantage of sexual reproduction?
A) Deleterious mutations accumulate in asexual populations, resulting in a significant genetic load.
B) Sexual reproduction is selected because it reintroduces no-mutation genotypes that have been lost from the population.
C) Linkage disequilibrium increases in populations by genetic drift because no-mutation multilocus genotypes are lost by chance.
D) All of the above accurately represent the conditions of Muller's ratchet.
