A coin flip can be used to the selection of alleles that leads to the genetic/physical makeup of offspring. Like a coin toss involves a 50/50 probability between heads & tails, the probability of offspring for inheriting either one of each parents alleles for each gene is also 50/50. Each parent has two alleles for each gene and passes one on to its offspring at random. The coin flip represents heredity. A baby's physical traits are produced based on probability determined by the traits of the parents. :-)

How does an allele trait in an organism?

An allele causes a trait by either being dominant orrecessive or example, allele A will occur over allele a because it is dominant.

Why does recombination between linked genes continued to occur?

Recombination between linked genes can still occur because crossing over during meiosis allows for exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes. This process promotes genetic diversity by creating new combinations of alleles that can be inherited independently of each other. Additionally, the frequency of recombination between linked genes can be influenced by factors such as chromosomal structure and distance between the genes.

For a mutation to affect evolution it must occur in?

For a mutation to affect evolution, it must occur in the DNA of reproductive cells (sperm or egg cells) so that it can be passed on to offspring. Mutations that occur in somatic cells (non-reproductive cells) do not directly impact evolution as they are not inherited by future generations.

Do Stable allele frequencies prevent microevolution?

No, stable allele frequencies do not prevent microevolution. Microevolution involves changes in allele frequencies within a population over time, even if those frequencies are stable for a period. Evolution can still occur through mechanisms such as genetic drift, selection, and gene flow, even if allele frequencies are temporarily stable.
