c. Parvovirus B19 infection can be diagnosed by direct detection of viral DNA not RNA.

d. the fetus of a seropositive mother is protected from infection by maternal circulating antibodies.

Random fluctuations in the gene frequencies within a population Eliminate is the one which best describes genetic drift.
