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.
Animals and plants are associated with both divisions and phyla
As kingdom grows the more species are in the classifying group.
<span>And since there are only a number of kingdom and thousand species, it would account that species changes more rapidly and exponentially grows than kingdoms.</span>
Mantle
In mollusks with shells, the outer cells of the mantle secrete
calcium carbonate and conchiolin to form the shell. The mantle is the body wall
of a mollusk. It resides below the shell where it covers the body of the
animal.
Answer:
The scheme most often used currently divides all living organisms into five kingdoms: Monera (bacteria), Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia.
Explanation:
Answer: Seafloor spreading occurs at <u>divergent plate boundaries.</u> As tectonic plates slowly move away from each other, heat from the mantle's convection currents makes the crust more plastic and less dense. The less-dense material rises, often forming a mountain or elevated area of the seafloor.
