Are changes in allelic frequency driven by natural selection?
Changes in allelic frequency can be driven by a variety of factors, including natural selection, genetic drift, gene flow, and mutation. Natural selection is a process where certain alleles provide a fitness advantage in a specific environment, leading to their increase in frequency over time. However, the relative contribution of natural selection to changes in allelic frequency can vary depending on the specific circumstances.
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 determines which trait will be passed on to the next generation in the greatest frequency?
natural selection
What happens to unnecessary traits during the process of natural selection?
How does natural selection affect undesirable traits?
What are four forces that can change the frequency of genes in a population?
- natural selection - sexual selection - genetic drift - immigration/emagration
What is natural selection and how does natural selection evolution?
A simplified explanation. Natural selection is the nonrandom survival and reproductive success of randomly varying organisms who by this reproductive success change the allele frequency over time in populations of organisms, which is evolution.
Which is more likely to be true natural selection or evolution?
Evolution, of course. Evolution can happen without natural selection in some cases; drift, flow. Generally though, natural selection causes evolution and then, by definition, would come first.
How does environmental pressure affect natural selection?
When nothing happens to exert strong population pressure on that population, natural selection favors the allele frequency already present. When mutations cause new traits, natural selection weeds these traits out because they're not as efficient as the others.
Which force of evolution makes a population more alike?
Stabilizing selection occurs when the extreme forms of some trait are selected against by natural selection. It is a force of natural selection which causes evolution (definition: change of allele frequency in a population divided by time).
What would be most effective in changing the frequency of certain traits in a population over time?
natural selection. -study island.

What effect does natural selection have on the frequency of a recessive lethal allele?
Perhaps not much as the recessive allele is masked in heterozygous condition. Depends on penetration and expresivity of the lethal allele, but any homozygous expression is fatal, so one can expect negative frequency selection; the freqiency is kept low by selection.
