The random change in allele frequency?
Random change in allele frequency is called genetic drift.
What is allele frequency change?
Evolution; the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms.
What is the impact of mutations on allele frequencies?
Mutation changes the allele frequency.Say there are two alleles, A and a, and p is the frequency of A and p=0.9, q is the frequency of a and q=0.1.Say that some A alleles mutated into a, now there...
What is The situation in which allele frequencies do not change is?
A Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium condition.
