If a mutation introduces a new skin color in a lizard population what factor might determine weather the frequency of the new allele will increase?
MelindaClark
Simple put, let us say that color was a better camouflage coloration in any environment the lizard found itself. Then that better camouflage hid the lizard better from its predators. Then those lizards possessing this new mutation would survive longer, have greater reproductive success and drive a larger frequency of these mutant alleles that conferred this advantage into the populations gene pool.

When you increase the tension on a piece of wire the speed of waves on it increase but the wavelength stays constant what happens to the frequency of the waves as the tension the wire is increased?
If the speed increased and the wavelngth stayed the same then the frequency would have to increase. Because Speed=Frequency*Wavelength Hope that helps
How do you increase the wavelength of a wave?
The expression for the energy of a mechanical wave is E = 2 m pi2 nu2 a2 m - mass of the particle in the medium nu - frequency of the wave a - amplitude of wave. So to increase the energy we may increase the frequency or amplitude of wave. If m is larger then more energy is required to have the same amplitude. Hence with increased mass more energy will be stored.

Population
A small founding population of a few hundred Europeans in North America had an unusually high frequency of an allele that causes polydactyly (six fingers). Many generations that followed had cases of?
The Founder Effect The founder effect is when a few individuals of a species form a new population. The gene pool composition, therefore, is not reflective of the gene pool of the original population. Think of this as a small number of people starting their own colony. This is an example of the Founder effect because Polydactyly is a dominant trait. And in a large population, it will be rare finding a person with a 6th digit. In a smaller population, however, polydactyly has a higher frequency of this allele, because the smaller the population, the higher the sensitivity for inbreeding and lower genetic variation. So, polydactyly (dominant allele) + Increase inbreeding= Higher polydactyly allele frequency.
When the wavelength of a wave gets higher what happens to the frequency or speed?
When the wavelength of a wave gets higher the speed decreases. This is a studied in science.
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 effect does natural selection have on the allele frequency of a population?
In the next generation that trait increases in frequency above the frequency in the current generation.
What correctly explains how a favorable genetic trait can increase in frequency in a population?

What would casue a mutated allele to increase in frequency in a population?
If it confered a reproductive advantage to the organism it resided in. This would drive representation of the allele higher in the populations gene pool; increase in frequency.
How can you determine the population several years from now?
Growth rate-amout of population increase 1 year
When wavelength decreases does the frequency increase or decrease?
The wavelength is inverse to the frequency, meaning the frequency in this case will increase.
How do ecologists determine if a population is changing?
A population is a group of individual of a single species that simulataneously occupy the same general area. Population may increase or decrease.
What indicates that evolution is occurring in a population in genetic terms?
In terms of a population, evolution is just the change of allele frequencies over time. Natural selection can cause certain advantageous alleles to increase in frequency, and detrimental alleles to decrease in frequency.
How do you increase a waves frequency?
Increase the energy in general.
What happens when you adjust frequency?
when you increase the frequency, then the wavelength decreases. :)
As the frequency of a wave of constant speed is increased does the wavelength increase or decrease?
frequency x wavelength = speedSo, if you increase frequency, the wavelength decreases, and vice versa.
If a frequency of a wave increases what will happen?
Increase decrease. The frequency MUST decrease.
