Answer:

The flow of individuals in and out of a population introduces new alleles and increases genetic variation within that population. Mutations are changes to an organism's DNA that create diversity within a population by introducing new alleles.

I hope it's helpful!

In a population with two alleles, B and b, the allele frequency of B=0.59. What would be the frequency of the heterozygotes if t
Levart [38]

Answer:

0.483

Explanation:

The given population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. If the gene has two alleles, the sum total of the frequencies of these two alleles will be one.  

Therefore, the total of the frequency of allele B and frequency of allele b will be 1. f(B) + f(b)=1

If the frequency of allele "B" is 0.59, then the frequency of allele "b" will be=1-0.59= 0.41

The frequency of heterozygous genotype in the population= 2pq

p= frequency of the dominant allele

q= frequency of the recessive allele

So, 2pq= 2 x 0.59 x 0.41 = 0.483
