Gene flow within a population distributes mutations among the individuals. Immigration and emigration transport alleles into and out of a population's gene pool, thus affecting the result of natural selection.

∙ 10y agoGene flow has a major impact on evolution. For some plants, the gene flow is restricted due to the pollinating agent. An insect may carry the fertilizing pollen a greater distance expanding the evolution of the specials. A drop type of pollination would have a lower gene flow and a slower curve of evolution.

∙ 12y agoGene flow changes allel frequences because there are two parents and the offspring receives allels from both the mother and the father. the allels are combined therefore creating new allel frequences

∙ 13y agoWhen you have one population entering into another population the gene pools of the two populations are different. Thus, new combinations of alleles get together and new phenotypes can arise. This changes allele frequency just by the flow, so that is the definition of evolution.

∙ 9y agoGenetic drift is the spread of specific random variations throughout the gene pool in the absence of specific selection pressures. There's always random variation in the population, but there aren't always changes in the environment for the population to adapt to. So natural selection, in stead of moving the population towards adaptation, might select from that random variation to move 'sideways', as it were, to a state that's equally well-adapted to the environment as what came before, but different. As random variation may produce many variants that are, more or less, equally well-adapted to their environment, the direction of evolution that results is more or less random.

How are alleles frequencies related to gene pools?
The frequency of the allele represents the percentage of that allele in the gene pool
Under is condition would a mutation have most impact on allele frequency?
There is no gene flow.
Does natural selection cause a change in the gene frequencies of the population over time?
Recessive genes are replaced by dominant genes over time and unfavorable genes die out.
What causes the allele frequencies to changes?
1. Mutation 2. Migration (Gene Flow): both immigration and emigration. 3. Genetic Drift 4. Sexual Selection (Non-random mating) 5. Natural Selection: those most fit survive to pass on their genes to the next generation.
A random change in a population's allele frequency?
Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. By mutation, genetic drift, gene flow and natural selection.
How are alleles frequencies related to gene pools?
The frequency of the allele represents the percentage of that allele in the gene pool
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.
A genetic change which can effect a species fitness?
evolution within a species. the allele frequencies in a gene pool of a population
The hardy-weinberg states that in a population do not change unless outside factors affect the gene pool?
allele frequencies
Why don't gene frequencies change from one generation to the next?
the DNA remains the same. just different parts of it get translated
The Hardy-Weinberg principle states that in a population do not change unless outside factors affect the gene pool.?
allele frequencies
The Hardy-Weinberg principle states that in a population do not change unless outside factors affect the gene pool?
allele frequencies
True or false Mutations are not capable of altering allele frequencies?
In the strict sense, no. Mutations happen to individuals and are only heritable in the germ line. Populations have allele frequencies in their gene pools. So, the mutation must be beneficial, lucky enough that it original carrier passes it on intact and that it is driven into the populations gene pool in sufficient number, by having reproductive success, to change allele frequencies.
How does mutation occur in the population?
Mutation can create new alleles, therfore can change allele frequencies in a population.
What is it called when there's a change in the gene?
The change of genetic information within an organism is known as a genetic mutation. It may also be refereed to as a change in allele frequencies when populations are examined.
What is micro-evolution?
Microevolution is the change in allele frequencies brought about by mutation, genetic drift, gene flow, and natural selection below the species level. Over time, microevolution can translate into macroevolution, which is larger scale change above the species level.Microevolution is simply a change in gene frequency within a population. Evolution at this scale can be observed over short periods of time.
In a population the sum of the relative frequencies of all alleles for a particular trait is?
Gene or allele frequency
