In a population, a gene has two alleles 'A' and 'a'. The frequency of allele 'A' is 0.4. What will be the frequency of allele 'a'?
0.4
0.6
0.48
0.16
0.16
B.
0.6
For any alleles A + a = 1
0.4 + a = 1
a = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6
Evolution of different species in a given geographical area, starting from a point and spreading to other geographical areas is known as
Geographic isolation
Migration
Parallel evolution
Natural selection
Natural selection
E.
Adaptive radiation
Adaptive radiation shows evolution of an animal or plant group into a wide variety of types adapted to specialized mode of life.
