Question 1. You have sampled a population in which you know that the percentage of the homozygous recessive genotype (aa) is 36%. Using that 36%, calculate the following: A) The frequency of the "aa" genotype. B) The frequency of the "a" allele. C) frequency of the a allele, then the frequency is 60%. D) The frequency of the "A" allele. E) frequency of A is by definition equal to p, so the answer is 40%. F) The frequencies of the genotypes "AA" and "Aa." G)The frequencies of the two possible phenotypes if "A" is completely dominant over "a."

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.
