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.

Which statement explains why athletes experience a burning sensation in
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

B. The conditions in their muscles have become anaerobic.

Explanation:

In humans, cellular respiration occurs naturally in an aerobic condition (presence of oxygen) but anaerobic respiration can be adopted in specific or extreme cases. One of those cases is after or during a VIGOROUS EXERCISE.

What happens is that, after a vigorous exercise by an athlete, oxygen becomes insufficient in their muscle cells due to high consumption. Hence, their muscle cells switch to anaerobic respiration (lactic acid fermentation), which causes the build up of lactate in the muscle tissues. This lactate build up cause athletes to experience a painful and burning sensation in their muscles.

Hence, it all begins when "conditions in their muscles become anaerobic after an exercise".
