When the population is small

or

When there is no gene flow

Small population, germ line mutation, beneficial mutation that gets into many progeny and a good deal of luck.

When a mutation first occurs a different allele is formed what best describes the frequency of this allele?

When a mutation first occurs, the frequency of the new allele is very low in the population. Over time, if the allele confers a selective advantage, it may increase in frequency through natural selection.


What are three mechanisms that cause allele frequency differences in a population?

Mutation, migration, and genetic drift

What factor would cause a mutation that would cause an allele frequency to increase?

An increase in allele frequency can occur due to factors such as genetic drift, gene flow from other populations, natural selection favoring that allele, or a genetic mutation that confers a selective advantage.


The number of times an allele occurs in a gene pool?

The frequency of an allele in a gene pool is determined by counting the number of copies of that allele in a population. This frequency can change through evolutionary processes such as genetic drift, natural selection, mutation, and gene flow. Tracking allele frequencies helps scientists study population genetics and evolutionary dynamics.


What factor determines whether the frequency of the new allele will increase?

Which factor might determine whether the frequency of the new allele will increase in a population where a mutation occurs?


What is an example of allele frequency?

An example of allele frequency is when in a population of 100 individuals, 60 individuals have the dominant allele (A) for a specific gene, while 40 individuals have the recessive allele (a). The frequency of the dominant allele (A) would be 0.6, and the frequency of the recessive allele (a) would be 0.4.


Which allele is associated with the BRCA2 mutation?

The BRCA2 mutation is associated with a variety of mutations across its gene. However, most commonly, the mutation is found in one allele of the BRCA2 gene located on chromosome 13.


The mutant allele causing sickle-cell anemia is found at high frequency mainly due to?

Sickle cell anemia is found in high frequency because it is a codominant mutation. It only requires one allele for the gene to manifest.


If an allele makes up one half of the frequency of a populations allele for a given trait it's allele frequency is?
