If there are 100 individuals in a population and 20 are homozygous for b, 60 are heterozygous, and 20 are homozygous for b, the allele frequency of b is 50%.
Allele frequency, sometimes referred to as gene frequency, is the percentage or fractional frequency of an allele (gene variant) at a certain location in a population. What is being discussed is the proportion of chromosomes in the population that carry that allele in comparison to the entire population or sample size. The slow change in allele frequencies within a population is known as microevolution.
Taking into consideration:
1. A particular allele at a particular chromosomal region.
2. A collection of N individuals with ploidy n, which denotes that each individual's somatic cells have n copies of each chromosome (e.g. two chromosomes in the cells of diploid species).
If an allele is found in a population on I chromosomes, the allele frequency is the proportion of all I occurrences of that allele to the total number of copies of the chromosome in the population (nN). Despite being related, the genotype frequency and the allele frequency are separate and one can infer the other from the other.

The answer is <span>B. A smaller cell has more surface area than volume.
</span>This is simple mathematics. Let's imagine that cell is spherical.
Now, we have two spheres: one big (with radius r = 5 cm) and one small (with radius r = 2 cm).
The formula for the surface area of the sphere (A) is A = 4 π r².
The formula for the volume of the square is 4/3 π r³.
Now, let's compare two spheres:
Small sphere: Big sphere:
r = 2 cm r = 5 cm
A = 4 π 2² = 50.3 cm² A = 4 π 5² = 314.2 cm²<span>
V = 4/3 </span>π 2³ = 33.5 cm³ V = 4/3 π 5 ³ = <span>523.6 cm³
According to the calculation, the smaller sphere will have more surface area than volume. This can be extrapolated to all shapes, not only spheres, so the </span><span>smaller cell has more surface area than volume.</span>
The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of life
