As the wolf scientists moved on to study a new population they only had their understanding of the inheritance of co color (and their calculators :) with them as they tried to determine both genotypic and allele frequencies of this new population. They understood that the darker coat color was dominant (C) to the lighter gray coat (c). They observed, in this population of 52 wolves, that 10 had a light gray coat.

Genetic Evolution

Sexual reproduction produces distinct population variations. Heredity determines the traits and qualities to be passed down to the progeny. Over time, this variation within-species is also affected by the process of human evolution. The study of how genetic variation leads to evolutionary changes is known as genetic evolution. If a trait helps an organism to survive and reproduce, it is more likely to be passed down the generations. It is rare that such traits result in a completely distinct set of traits in descendants than the ancestral population; this can result in the emergence of a new species.
