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.

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Weather is the day-to-day conditions, and climate is the conditions expected over relatively long periods of time.

Explanation:

The difference between weather and climate is how long the period of time they refer to is.

Weather is what conditions of the atmosphere are over a short period of time, or day-to-day conditions. It's what we see on the weather forecast every day - whether it's going to be sunny or rainy today and tomorrow and similar.

Climate is what conditions of the atmosphere are over longer periods of time, usually 30 years. In fact, it's an average pattern of weather for a particular region. A description of a region's climate will include the precipitation, temperature, humidity, sunshine, wind velocity, phenomena such as fog, frost, and hail storms, and similar conditions.
