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.
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 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.
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 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 an example of allele frequency?
The frequency for the mutant cystic fibrosis allele among Caucasians is 0.025, while the frequency of the normal allele is 0.975.

The change in allele frequency?
Random change in allele frequency is called genetic drift.

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 happens when a population is in hardy weinberg equillibrium?
You mama The allele frequency does not change.
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 effect does a bottleneck have on the allele frequency of a population?
It greatly reduces the total population, which increases the effects of genetic drift on allele frequency.
