Can the genotype in a population change with the allele frequency changing?
Yes, the ratios of genotypes for a specific trait can change if allele frequency changes.
Could you define Minor and major allele frequency?
A minor allele is the allele that has the least frequency among all the alleles in a given population and this has to be greater than 5%.
What is the distribution of a particular allele within a population called?
Based on the Hardy-Weinberg Principle the rate at which a particular allele occurs in a population is its frequency.
What happen when a population is in a Hardy equilibrium?
Allele frequency is stable The phenotype frequency does not change.
What happens when a population is in weinberg equilibrium?
Allele frequency is stable
What Is the percentage of a particular allele in a population?
Allele frequency.
How will the allele change in the rat population?
Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. Rats too!
What is allele fixation?
An allele present in all members of a population
What is meant allele frequency?
How often a certain allele (or trait) occurs in a certain population.
Can the genotype in a population change with the allele frequency changing?
Yes, the ratios of genotypes for a specific trait can change if allele frequency changes.

What is the distribution of a particular allele within a population called?
Based on the Hardy-Weinberg Principle the rate at which a particular allele occurs in a population is its frequency.
Which is an example of genetic drift?
Allele frequencies change randomly each generation. APEX
What happen when a population is in a Hardy equilibrium?
Allele frequency is stable The phenotype frequency does not change.
What happens when a population is in weinberg equilibrium?
Allele frequency is stable
What is a distribution of a particular allele within a population?
Based on the Hardy-Weinberg Principle the rate at which a particular allele occurs in a population is its frequency.
What is meant by allele frequence?
How often a certain allele (or trait) occurs in a certain population.
