True or false Mutations are not capable of altering allele frequencies?
In the strict sense, no. Mutations happen to individuals and are only heritable in the germ line. Populations have allele frequencies in their gene pools. So, the mutation must be beneficial, lucky enough that it original carrier passes it on intact and that it is driven into the populations gene pool in sufficient number, by having reproductive success, to change allele frequencies.
The work of hardy and weinberg led to what statement about evolution?
Evolution is changes in the gene pool's allele frequencies.Evolution is changes in the gene pool's allele frequencies
The hardy-weinberg states that in a population do not change unless outside factors affect the gene pool?
allele frequencies
What is an Dominant allele?
A dominant allele is a gene that holds a certain characteristic that is superior to a recessive allele. The dominant allele ALWAYS has its trait shown in the body of the recipient, except when both alleles in a gene are recessive.
The Hardy-Weinberg principle states that in a population do not change unless outside factors affect the gene pool.?
allele frequencies
How are alleles frequencies related to gene pools?
The frequency of the allele represents the percentage of that allele in the gene pool
Does natural selection on single-gene trait cannot lead to changes in allele frequencies?
Natural selection on a single-gene trait can lead to changes in allele frequencies for the alleles of that gene.
In a population the sum of the relative frequencies of all alleles for a particular trait is?
Gene or allele frequency
