An example of an adaptation to prevent water loss in plants is

Biology

One example can be the needle shaped leaves.

In desert areas, there are not much water sources. So basically, any drop of water is precious. To help prevent water loss of plants, for example cactus has very thin leaves that are needle shaped. Or some even don't have any leaves. This can reduce the surface area of leaves and thus reduce the water evaporating to the outer environment.

Another example also shown on cactus is that they have very thick waxy cuticle. It can also prevent water from evaporating from the stem. So that's why you see the stem is very shinny.

Explanation:

Crossing over occcur when genetic material is exchanged between homologous chromosome this leads to formation of new genes that creates diversity.

homologous chromosome assort imdependently i.e seperate from each other leading to the formation of an entirely new gene that creates diversity.

Genetic recombination when gene recombines together to produce a unique type. It occurs between different species.

What is the allele frequency?
Keith_Richards [23]

Allele frequency is a measure of the relative frequency of an allele on a genetic locus in a population.

Usually it is expressed as a proportion or a percentage.

In population genetics, allele frequencies show the genetic diversity of a species population or equivalently the richness of its gene pool.

The frequencies of all the alleles of a given gene often are graphed together as an allele frequency distribution histogram.

Population genetics studies the different "forces" that might lead to changes in the distribution and frequencies of alleles - in other words, to evolution.

Besides selection, these forces include genetic drift, mutation and migration.
