Could you define Minor and major allele frequency?
Minor allele frequency (MAF) is the frequency at which the less common allele appears in a particular population. Major allele frequency (MAF) is the frequency at which the more common allele appears in a particular population. They are useful measures for studying genetic variation within populations.
If an allele makes up one half of the frequency of a populations allele for a given trait it's allele frequency is?
its not anything.
The number of times an allele occurs in a gene pool?
The frequency of an allele in a gene pool is determined by counting the number of copies of that allele in a population. This frequency can change through evolutionary processes such as genetic drift, natural selection, mutation, and gene flow. Tracking allele frequencies helps scientists study population genetics and evolutionary dynamics.
Can the genotype in a population change with the allele frequency changing?
Yes, the ratios of genotypes for a specific trait can change if allele frequency changes.
What happens when a population is in Hardy m-Weinberg equilibrium?
Allele frequency is stable.(Apex)
How do change Genetic equilibrium lead to speciation?
Allele frequency is altered by genetic drift, natural selection, migration, mutation, or nonrandom mating. This results in a change in genetic equilibrium in a population that is evolving. Evolution leads eventually to speciation.
What is an example of allele frequency?
An example of allele frequency is when in a population of 100 individuals, 60 individuals have the dominant allele (A) for a specific gene, while 40 individuals have the recessive allele (a). The frequency of the dominant allele (A) would be 0.6, and the frequency of the recessive allele (a) would be 0.4.
What is observed evolutionary change?
Morphological and behavioral changes that speak to, the change in allele frequency over time in that population of organisms. Go here and check observed speciation section.talkorigins.org

Will cats continue to evolve?
Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. So, cats will continue to evolve. Organisms evolve, or go extinct. Speciation is another thing.
The change in allele frequency?
Random change in allele frequency is called genetic drift.
How do you use Allele Frequency in a sentence for biology?
Allele frequency refers to the proportion of a specific allele in a population's gene pool. For example, in a population of birds, the allele frequency for the gene that determines feather color might be 0.7 for the brown allele and 0.3 for the white allele.
How will the allele change in the rat population?
Allele frequencies can change in a rat population through genetic drift, natural selection, gene flow, and mutations. These can lead to an increase or decrease in the frequency of certain alleles within the population over time.
The number of times an allele occurs in a gene pool?
The frequency of an allele in a gene pool is determined by counting the number of copies of that allele in a population. This frequency can change through evolutionary processes such as genetic drift, natural selection, mutation, and gene flow. Tracking allele frequencies helps scientists study population genetics and evolutionary dynamics.
What Is the percentage of a particular allele in a population?
Allele frequency.
How does reproductive isolation causes speciation?
It reduces gene flow.
