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.
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.
