Although selection operates against deleterious alleles in populations, they are rarely lost from these populations. For example

, most deleterious recessive alleles in population have equilibrium q values slightly above 0. Why might that be?

Answer:

Deleterious alleles appear sporadically in a population

Explanation:

A population with a deleterious allele will have no or few individuals that have the ability to pass along these traits. These alleles appear less in a population because of selective pressure but they are not always absent. The alleles appear less often but are are not always passed on and the others that are genetically fit are able to pass along their genes. The reason the population equilibrium is not zero is because these alleles do appear but they are not necessarily passed along. These individuals may not be able to reproduce or reach the age of reproduction.

Deleterious alleles appear more often, making individuals less fit genetically, i.e. they pass fewer copies of their genes to future generations. Put another way, natural selection purges the deleterious alleles.

What reasons besides being necessary for the methane cycle, can you think of that might
Stella [2.4K]

Titan's rivers, lakes, and seas of liquid methane and ethane could provide a habitable environment on the moon's surface, though any life there would most likely be very different from life on Earth.

Methane gas is effective at trapping heat and burns quickly. As a result, methane is one of the most important human fuels. Furthermore, methane in the atmosphere helps to regulate the Earth's climate.

Over the first 20 years after it enters the atmosphere, methane has more than 80 times the warming power of carbon dioxide. Even though CO2 has a longer lasting effect, methane drives warming in the short term. Methane from human activity is responsible for at least 25% of today's global warming.

As a result, methane not only contributes to global warming directly, but also indirectly through the release of carbon dioxide.
