Explain how the environment play a role in changing the frequency of a mutant allele in a poplution
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

The environment plays a role in a mutant allele in a population because some mutations are more beneficial to the organism than other mutations.

Explanation:

Organisms with a beneficial allele mutation will be able to pass on their genes as they reproduce. The mutation makes them <em>fit</em> for survival in their environment. Other organisms <em>without </em>the beneficial allele won't be able to pass on their genes since it will be more difficult for them to survive in their environment. Natural selection will deem that the organisms with the mutation will survive better and be able to produce offspring with the same mutation.
