A population of Poison dart frogs can be red (RR), orange (Rr) or yellow (rr). The allele frequency of the mainland is R: 0.5 r. 0.5. A small
group of the frogs moves to an island off the mainland. If the group is composed of 4 red and one orange frog, what would you expect to
happen to the allele frequency?
A. Increase towards the R allele
B. Increase towards the r allele
C. Stay the same as the mainland
D. Frequency of both alleles would decrease

Respuesta :

Answer:

A

Explanation:

it will increase with a 4:1 ratio

As per the given scenario, the allele frequency will increase towards R allele. The correct option is A.

What is allele frequency?

The number of times the allele of interest is observed in a population is divided by the overall number of copies of all the alleles at that particular genetic locus in the population to calculate the allele frequency.

In the given scenario, as group of the frogs moves to an island off the mainland, the allele frequency of R will increase.

Thus, the correct option is A.
