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.
A hot spot is an area in the mantle of the earth where heat increases during the convection phase. This heat makes it easier for rock to melt. The melted lava, known as magma, drives volcanoes into cracks in the crust. There was a mistake. It does happen instead in abnormally hot centers called mantle feathers.
I believe the answer is A. decomposition ans parasitism
no the answer is c im taking the quiz now
Answer:
(A). Result in different amino acids to be read due to frame shifts
Explanation:
Insertion or deletion mutations (or Indel mutations) can be defined as mutations in DNA due to insertion (addition) or deletion of nucleotide bases in DNA.
These mutations lead to change in reading frames (sequence of codons), which leads to formation of protein having completely different amino acid sequence. Hence, these mutations are also cause frameshift mutations.
This is due due to triplet nature of genetic codes as insertion or deletion of one or more bases (but not three) would change change in codon sequence and mutated sequence can form a non-functional or truncated protein.
Thus, the correct answer is option (A).
