Scientists have found through the study of population genetics that human populations are different from one other and very small ways determined by the amounts of properties of alleles or genetic components and their DNA not the overall kinds this means that we are really only slightly different from one another but in what ways? Why do we think these differences are so important

What is the role of variation in evolution If heterozygosity is reduced what happens to the potential for evolution? The phenotype and genotype of a population is due to a mosaic of random and directed processes some of these have to do with history.some are related to adaptation etc. As completely as possible,discuss the role of chance and direction in evolution and in determining the phenotype of a population
Which of the following is an example of genetic drift? peter Parker gets irradiated and turns into spider man as global temperatures increase alleles that confer resistance to heat become more prevalent the American bison was hunted almost to extinction very quickly and only a few remained 5% of your neighbourhood moves to Canada
What is the role of variation in evolution_if heterozygosity is reduced, what happens to the potential for evolution? The phenotype (and genotype) of a population is due to a "mosaic" of random and directed processes.Some of these have to do with history; some are related to adaptation etc. As completely as possible, discuss the role of chance and direction in evolution and in determining the phenotype of a population.
Valyrians have alleles for gene A, controlling hair color. The dominant A (silver hair) and the recessive a (brown hair). In a population of 3600 individuals, 2000 have genotype AA, 1000 have genotype Aa, and 600 have genotype aa. 1-What is the frequency of allele A? (Express the answer as a decimal with 3 places, ie .123
What is the role of variation in evolution. If heterozygosity is reduced, what happens to the potential for evolution?. The phenotype and genotype bof a population is die to a mosaic of random and directed processes, some of them have to do with history ;some are related to adaptation, etc. As completely as possible, discuss the role of chance and direction in evolution and in determining the phenotype of a population
Genes and inheritance have an impact on the lives of parents and their progeny, the F1 and F2 generations. Population genetics also deals with genetics, but in a different way. What is the definition of population genetics? How can the abundance of an allele be different in a population as compared with an individual of the population? (Hint: How can the phenotype of a population differ from that of an individual? Can a population have red flowers, pink flowers, and white flowers? Can one individual have all three types of flowers?)
One of the original Amish colonies rose from a ship of colonists that came from Europe. The ship’s captain, who had polydactyly, a rare dominant trait, was one of the original colonists. Today, we see a much higher frequency of polydactyly in the Amish population. This is an example of what and why you think so?
You are given the following information about a population: · There are two alleles: C and c. · C codes for green hair and c codes for white hair. · C is dominant and c is recessive. · The frequency of the c allele is 0.3. · The population is made up of 100 individuals. Assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what percent of the population has green hair?
What is variation in evolution-if heterozygosity is reduced,what happens to the potential for evolution?the phenotype(genotype)of the population is due to the mosaic of random and directed processes.some of these have to do with history.some related to adaptation etc.as completely as possible discuss the role of the chance and direction in variation in evolution and in determinijg the phenotype of a population
DNA typing is used to compare evidence DNA (E) left at a crime scene to two suspects(S1 and S2). Suspect 1 is excluded by the evidence, but suspect 2 remains included. What isthe frequency of suspect 2's genotype if the allelic frequencies in the population are f(A1) =0.1, f(A2) = 0.2, and f(A3) = 0.7, and the population is at Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium?I do not need the answer, just HOW you do it. I got 0.02 as the answer, but I know that isn't right.
What is the role of variation in evolution.if heterozygosity is reduced, what happens to the potential for evolution. The phenotype and genotyoe of a population is due to a mosaic of random and directed processes. Some of these have to do with history , discuss the role of chance and directions in evolution and in determining the phenotype of a population.
Tay-Sachs disease is caused by a recessive allele. The frequency of this allele is 0.1 in a population of 3600 people. What is the frequency of the dominant allele, and how many of the 3600 people will be heterozygous for the condition?
