The environment has changed and the frequency of the p allele has gone down what will this do to the q allele?
In a population's genetic makeup, if the frequency of the p allele decreases, it can lead to an increase in the frequency of the q allele if they are in a simple two-allele system (where p + q = 1). This is often the case in scenarios where the two alleles are in negative frequency-dependent selection, meaning that as one allele becomes less common, the other may benefit and increase in frequency. However, other factors such as selection pressures, mutation rates, and genetic drift can also influence the dynamics between p and q alleles.

What causes an allele frequency to go up in one generation and back down in the next generation?
There are three basic reasons: 1. Natural Selection-- thr environment may have favored the allele in previous generations, but now disfavors it. 2. Genetic Drift-- in every finite population, the frequency of an allele will fluctuate due to chance. For example, the vast majority of sperm fail to fertlize any egg, so allels can be lost this way due to chance. Individuals carrying a copy or copies of an allele may die young due to random accidents, or may never find a mate. These basic chance events cause the frequencies of alleles to fluctuate, and the degree of frequency change depends upon the population size. The greater the population size, the smaller the change in frequency. 3. A combination of both.
How can immigration and emigration alter allele frequencies in a population?
Let us say you have three alleles in a population of beetles. Two colors; brown is recessive to green. Thus you have; GG, which is homozygous dominant and green, you have Gb, which is heterozygous and also green. Then you have bb, which is homozygous recessive. This is your population of beetles. What do you think the allele frequency would be if GG, the homozygous dominant, either immigrated, or emigrated out of or into your population of beetles? Since the frequency of Gb and bb would necessarily go down statistically you would see more green morphologies and a change in genetic allele frequency. Assuming normal conditions.
How is natural environment is changed?
The natural environment can be changed in various ways, including deforestation, urbanization, pollution, climate change, and habitat destruction. These changes can have negative impacts on biodiversity, natural resources, ecosystems, and the overall health of the planet. It is important to take steps to protect and conserve the natural environment for future generations.
What allele is represented by capital letters?
In a Punnett square, a capital letter denotes the dominant allele and a lowercase letter denotes the recessive allele.
How do texties affect the environment?
they affect the environment by cutting down trees

What will happen to frequency of current when voltage is changed using a step up or step down transformer?
Frequency does not change when you use a step-up or step-down transformer. Only current and voltage is changed.
How has jaguars environment changed over the years?
Sadly, yes people ARE cutting down their environment as well as many other animals.
If there is Down syndrome on your husband's side are you likely to have a special needs baby?
You're husband may not necessarily have the down syndrome allele. Also the only way you would have a special needs baby is if you also have the recessive (down syndrome) allele. Here are the chances: If neither of you have the recessive (down syndrome) allele - 0% If one of you have the recessive allele - 0% If you both have the recessive allele - 25% The chances are pretty low but it is not definite that you wont have a special needs baby.

Is Down syndrome found on a dominant allele?
Yes.
What is the significance of the ancestral allele in understanding genetic inheritance and evolution?
The ancestral allele is important in understanding genetic inheritance and evolution because it represents the original form of a gene in a population. By studying the ancestral allele, scientists can track how genetic variations have evolved over time and how they are passed down through generations. This information helps researchers understand the genetic basis of traits and how they have changed over time, providing insights into the mechanisms of evolution.

How have people been changed by the environment?
people can change the enviroment anywhere, by cutting down trees, littering , killing animals, even being there in the first place
What happens if the frequenCy of wave and its length increase?
That is impossible. Speed of wave c = frequency f times wavelength λ. To have a constant speed, the frequency goes up and the wavelength goes down or the frequency goes down and the wavelength goes up.
