Question

using the diagram on the right, what would be the frequency of red alleles if the evolved population doubled? gene pool, original population gene pool, evolved population several generations allele frequencies allele frequencies 0.32 0.105 0.21 0.47 need help on this question? read the ebook page on this topic get a hint (fewer points) show answer (no points)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify red allele frequency in evolved population

From the diagram, the red allele (let’s assume it’s the one with frequency 0.21 in the evolved population’s allele frequencies box).

Step2: Note allele frequency is population size-independent

Doubling the population size does not change allele frequency, so it remains 0.21.

Answer:

0.21
