Which is an example of genetic drift?
Allele frequencies change randomly each generation. APEX
What question did Hardy and Weinberg want to answer?
To determine how allele frequency changes
What Is the percentage of a particular allele in a population?
Allele frequency.
What is the Random change in a populations allele frequency is known?
Random change in allele frequency is called genetic drift.
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!
The number of times an allele occurs in a gene pool?
Think frequent. More of the allele in the populations gene pool and there is a change in the alleles frequency. Some goes for less of the allele.
If an allele makes up one half of the frequency of a populations allele for a given trait it's allele frequency is?
its not anything.
The change in allele frequency?

What is allel frequency?
Allele frequency is the frequency at which a particular allele occurs in a population. For example, the genes for eye color involves many alleles: blue, brown, green, hazel. etc. Allele frequency refers to how often each expression shows up in a population, so for example in America the allele frequency for blue eyes may be 25%, hazel 15%, green 5% and brown 50%, with 5% left for other minor alleles. This would mean approximately 50% of the alleles for eye color in the American population are the "brown" variant.
What Is the percentage of a particular allele in a population?
Allele frequency.
What happens when a population is in hardy weinberg equillibrium?
In Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, allele frequencies in a population remain constant from generation to generation. This means that the population is not evolving. Factors such as no mutation, no gene flow, random mating, large population size, and no natural selection contribute to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
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%.
Why are Inunit people an example of evolution?
They are well adapted to their environment due to change over time in their allele frequency.
What effect does a bottleneck have on the allele frequency of a population?
A bottleneck can lead to a significant reduction in the genetic diversity of a population, causing certain alleles to be lost and others to become more common. This can increase the frequency of rare alleles and result in genetic drift, potentially leading to an increase in genetic diseases or reduced fitness in the 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.
