Summary Introduction
To explain: The type of microevolutionary force that changes genotype frequencies without changing allele frequencies.
Introduction: Microevolution can be defined as the changes that occur in the alleles or the genotypes. Microevolution leads to the development of minute changes across generations. Microevolution comprises microevolutionary forces that contribute to the process of evolution.

Which microevolutionary force typically changes genotype frequencies without changing allele frequencies? Explain.
If the Hardy-Weinberg equation enables us to use information on genotype and allele frequencies to predict the genotype frequencies of the next generation. In a population of 100,000 people carrying the recessive allele a for albinism, there are: 100 aa albinos and 1800 Aa heterozygous carriers.
What is a frequency of heterozygous carriers in the next generation?
Calculate the frequency for the A allele and a allele.
How this will chance the frequency of alleles in a population for the following generation?
In a population of 200 people, an allele F has a frequency of 84%. What is the frequency of allele f? Using the Hardy-Weinberg equation, estimate the numbers of homozygous dominant, heterozygous, and homozygous recessive genotypes. (Remember that the formula is: p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1, where p represents the dominant allele and q represents the recessive allele.) *Be sure to account for all 200 people in the population.

- Under the above conditions of reproductive discrimination against those with attached earlobes, if the population in this next generation is still 500,000 people, then the new genotypic frequencies will be: Homozygous dominants, unattached ear lobes: 0.34 Heterozygotes, unattached ear lobes: 0.48 Homozygous recessives, attached ear lobes: 0.18 What will be the allele frequencies for L and l in this generation? Did the frequency of the recessive allele (l), as compared to its frequency calculated in Part B, increase or decrease because of its deleterious effects on fitness?
