What is the multiple allele system?
A multiple allele system is when there are more than two possible allele pairs for a single locus.
What is the relationship between evolution allele frequency and population?
Consider an organism as a collection of inherited traits. Now consider each trait to be the expression of a single allele. An allele is a variant of a gene. For instance, if eye colour is coded for by a single gene, then there may be an allele A that codes for blue eyes, and an allele B that codes for brown eyes. A population gene pool, then, is the collection of all alleles present in a population of organisms from a single species. The allele frequency is the number of times a specific allele occurs in the population gene pool. For instance, the allele frequency of the brown-eye allele may be higher than the frequency of the blue-eye allele, meaning that more people have brown eyes than blue eyes, in this simplification.Evolution is measured in terms of changing allele frequencies. For instance, in our example, we could measure the number of people with blue eyes in generation one, and then measure the number again in generation one hundred. If we see a significant shift in frequency, then evolution has occurred.Nota bene: this is not how it works in reality, but it's easier to explain it in such simple terms than if I were to go into the complexities of population genetics.

What disease is caused by a dominant allele of a single gene?
Huntington's Disease
What is single individual?
An organism
Does natural selection on single-gene trait cannot lead to changes in allele frequencies?
Natural selection on a single-gene trait can lead to changes in allele frequencies for the alleles of that gene.
What will happen if an organism is alone in a ecosystem?
If an organism is alone in a ecosystem it will definitely die. A single organism cannot form an ecosystem as it has to interact with other organisms.
WHAT is single gene trait?
A single-gene trait is a phenotypic trait controlled by two homologous alleles.
What is the multiple allele system?
A multiple allele system is when there are more than two possible allele pairs for a single locus.
What is a gene for a single trait called?
an Allele.
Which is most inclusive A. Allele B. Genotype?
single genes wiht multiple alleles
Can a single cell be an organism?
Yes, a single-cell organism is an organism, it contains a nucleus.

Under what condition is a single recessive allele expressed in a male?
Recessive alleles are expressed if there is no dominant allele (of the same gene) present. This can be for two reasons, because the other allele is also recessive, or because there is no other allele (such as X-linked genes, which males only have one copy of).
A single organism in an environment called?
A single organism in an environment is called an individual
Is Cellular a single- celled organism?
No; a single-celled organism is a unicellularoraganism I believe.
