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.
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%.
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 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.
Why is the allele for albinism is present at a lowere frequency than the allele for pigments?
Because the pigments have higher possibility to survive because of their color of skin/fur they could have an easier camouflage and the albinos cant survive that easy.
Is albinism controlled by a dominant allele or by a recessive allele?
Recessive allele.
Is albinism controlled by a dominant allele o recessive allele?
It is controlled by a recessive allele.
What is allele fixation?
An allele present in all members of a population
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 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.
How can albinism in plants keep occurring if they cannot reproduce?
because the recessive allele is still present in heterozygous individuals. these individuals have one dominant allele and so show the dominant phenotype but they are capable of producing offspring with the recessive condition
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?
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.
