In a population of 50 hamsters, 60 of the alleles code for brown fur and 40 alleles code for black fur. The allele frequency of black fur alleles is After many generations, the allele frequency of the black fur allele is 60%. From this information we can conclude that tthis population of hamsters O 60%; is in an equilibrium population. O 60%; has evolved. O 40%; has experienced coevolution. O 40%; is in an equilibrium population. O 40%; has evolved.

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
