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.
Yes, that is true. What is your question?
The more intense the light is, the faster the rate of photosynthesis will occur
Samoset and Squanto both speak using the English language.
Fossils can give information about past environmental conditions by showing the type of animal they belonged to. If a scientist found a whale fossil in a desert, he/she could assume that the desert was once an ocean as whales only live in oceans. If someone found a fossil of a lizard that inhabited trees, in the middle of the ocean, then he/she could assume that the ocean didn't exist at one point and instead, there might have been a forest in it's place.
Hope this helps!
