Saturn has 62 confirmed moons of which 9 are waiting to be officially named. Saturn's largest moon Titan is bigger than both Mercury and Pluto. Titan has a very thick atmosphere which is mostly nitrogen. Earth's atmosphere is also mostly nitrogen. Saturn also has many icy moons like Mimas which has a large crater that is 1/4 the diameter of the moon, and Enceladus which has very dark material covering one side and very bright material on the other side. Some of Saturn's smaller moons help keep Saturn's rings stable by orbiting in or near the rings. These moons are called "shepherd moons" and use their gravity to keep the small ring particles in a stable orbit. Some of the gaps in Saturn's rings are caused by these moons. More moons are constantly being discovered so check the NASA Saturn site for the latest.

Allele frequency can change over time since natural selection and other
KonstantinChe [14]

These various variations of a gene are referred to as alleles. For instance, two alleles may occur at one specific locus, one of which codes for the cytosine base and the other for the thymine base. One copy of the human genome is inherited from each parent. We are hence referred to as diploid organisms.

<h3>What is Allele Frequency ?</h3>

The relative frequency of an allele at a certain locus in a population, represented as a fraction or percentage, is known as gene frequency or allele frequency. The percentage of chromosomes in the population that carry that allele relative to the whole population or sample size is what is being discussed.

The frequency of an allele in a population is referred to as its allele frequency. It is calculated by dividing the number of gene copies by the number of times the allele occurs in the population. All the copies of every gene in a population make up the gene pool of that population.

<h3>What is Allele ?</h3>

Leading textbooks on genetics and evolution define an allele as a different variation of the same sequence of nucleotides at the same location on a long DNA molecule. "The chromosomal or genomic location of a gene or any other genetic element is called a locus and alternative DNA sequences at a locus are called alleles.

Julli [10]
To test the Porosity of the hair, one should select a small section of hair at the crown, hold it at the root and the tip, and slide the hair down two to three times slowly. The porosity of the hair is the ability to absorb moisture and may be low, normal or high. A porosity test indicates the category of an individuals hair. It is important since one is able to maintain hair's health than merely just knowing the hair type.
