In the biological sense of the term (and not psychological!), why can't we say that individuals evolve? (In other words, why do we say that only populations evolve?)
As completely as possible, discuss the role of chance and direction in evolution and in determining the phenotype of a population.
A population of frogs consists of 1000 individuals of which 400 are red. Red is recessive to Green. What is the frequency of the dominant allele and the recessive allele in this population? What is the frequency of individuals with homozygous dominant phenotypes? Please answer and show all work, thank you!! :)
