30. Hair straightness in humans appears to be governed by incomplete dominance of a pair of alleles. Individuals may have straight, wavy or curly hair. Homozygous dominant individuals have straight hair, homozygous recessive individuals have curly hair. In a randomly mating population of 320 people, there were 41 curly-haired people. If the frequency of a recessive allele changes from 0.0031 to 0.04 after several generations, the most probable reason is that non-random mating is occurring there is no immigration natural selection is not occurring random mating is occurring

dominance of a pair of alleles. Individuals may have straight, wavy or curly
hair. Homozygous dominant individuals have straight hair, homozygous
recessive individuals have curly hair. In a randomly mating population of
320 people, there were 41 curly-haired people. If the frequency of a
recessive allele changes from 0.0031 to 0.04 after several generations, the
most probable reason is that
non-random mating is occurring
there is no immigration
natural selection is not occurring
