Answer 4

@M00SE What is Allele...?

Answer 5

One way to understand how and why populations evolve is to imagine a model of a hypothetical population that does not evolve. If a popu-lation is not evolving, allele frequencies in its gene pool do not change, which means that the population is in genetic equilibrium. Sexual Reproduction and Allele Frequency Gene shuffling during sexual reproduction produces many gene combinations. But a century ago, researchers realized that meiosis and fertilization, by themselves, do not change allele frequencies. So hypothetically, a population of sexually reproducing organisms could remain in genetic equilibrium. The Hardy- Weinberg Principle The Hardy- Weinberg principle states that allele frequencies in a population should remain constant unless one or more factors cause those frequencies to change. The Hardy- Weinberg principle makes predictions like Punnett squares— but for populations, not individuals. Here’s how it works. Suppose that there are two alleles for a gene: A ( dominant) and a ( recessive).A cross of these alleles can produce three possible genotypes: AA, Aa, and aa. The frequencies of genotypes in the population can be predicted by these equations, where p and q are the frequencies of the dominant and recessive alleles: In symbols: p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1 and p + q = 1 In words: ( frequency of AA) + ( frequency of Aa) + ( frequency of aa) = 100% and ( frequency of A) + ( frequency of a) = 100% Suppose that, in one generation, the frequency of the A allele is 40 per-cent ( p = 0.40) 40per-cent(p=0.40) and the frequency of the a allele is 60 percent ( q = 0.60).

In my book (@.@)

Answer 7

Allele; form of gene: one of two or more alternative forms of a gene, occupying the same position locus on paired chromosomes and controlling the same inherited characteristic

lol thanks @m00se

Answer 9

Won't it be 75? If it is One half?
