What is meant by the allele frequency?
An allele frequency measures how common certain alleles are in the population. "The distribution of alleles in a population" -Apex
What name is given to the most common phenotype in a natural population?
A wild type.
Recessive allele is more common or dominant allele?
Not necessarily. I think the dominant genes are more common, but there are lot of exceptions out there. For example, having six fingers in humans is a dominant gene, but it isn't all that common.

What is the factor that seems to disappear due to a dominant allele?
An allele is one particular form of a gene. A large population of living things typically have several different allele for any particular gene. For example, one important gene in humans determines blood type compatibility. That gene comes in 3 different alleles -- A, B, and O. Most plants and animals are diploid -- they have 2 of each gene, one inherited from each parent. For example, any one human has one of six possible genotypes for that gene: AA, BB, OO, AB, AO, BO. A recessive allele seems to disappear when paired with a dominant allele. If something has a dominant and recessive allele, the dominant will overshadow the recessive, but the recessive will still be there (just not showing). For example, the O allele is recessive when paired with the A allele, which is dominant, and so humans with the AO genotype as well as the AA genotype have "type A blood". Only humans with the OO genotype show "type O blood". According to the Wikipedia "allele" article, some people once thought that all genes had only one "normal" allele, which was both common and dominant, and all other versions of that gene (all other alleles) were rare and recessive. However, most genes have many different "normal" alleles, whose frequencies vary from one population to another. With some genes, the most common allele is recessive.
Would a recessive allele or dominant allele be more common in population?
Dominant allele because its more likely to be received by the next generation.
Why doesn't polydactylism occur in everyone if it is a dominant trait?
Just because an allele is dominant does not mean that it is necessarily common.How common a version of a gene is (i.e. its frequency in a population) depends on how it affects an organism's chance of surviving to reproduce. Natural selection may favor a recessive allele of one gene and a dominant allele of another.
What are the 4 main theories of evolution?
The four main theories of evolution are natural selection, genetic drift, gene flow, and mutations. Natural selection is the process by which beneficial traits become more common in a population. Genetic drift is the random fluctuation of allele frequencies in a population. Gene flow refers to the transfer of genes between populations. Mutations are the source of new genetic variation in a population.
Are blue or brown eyes dominent?
brown eyes are dominant and are the most common eye colour half of the world has them population have them including me

Is it common for a population to remain in genetic equilibrium?
1) No mutations 2) No natural selection 3) No individuals in or out of a population. 4) Large population 5) Random mating It is, however, impossible for a population to achieve genetic equilibrium. There are always going to be mutations occurring from time to time.

What are some synonyms of usual?

Why are dominant genetic disorders rare in humans?
Intuitively, natural selection should eliminate these lethal genetic disorders from the population.....However, natural selection does not act on the genotype of an individual, but on the phenotype. Many of these lethal genetic disorders are the product of two "recessive alleles" that were masked in the parents with a "dominant allele."
Recessive allele is more common or dominant allele?
Not necessarily. I think the dominant genes are more common, but there are lot of exceptions out there. For example, having six fingers in humans is a dominant gene, but it isn't all that common.

What idea did Hardly and Weinberg disprove?
Dominant alleles become more common in each generation
