🔑Genes are located on specific regions of a chromosome known as loci.
💡Allele frequency is the relative proportion of a specific allele for a given gene within a population.
🧬Genotype frequency is the proportion of individuals in a population that have a particular genotype.
🧩Microevolution occurs when there's a shift in the proportion of alleles in a gene pool.
🌍Allele frequencies describe the genetic variation in a population.
What are genotype frequencies?
—Genotype frequencies are the proportion of individuals in a population that have a particular genotype.
What are allele frequencies?
—Allele frequencies are the relative proportion of a specific allele for a given gene within a population.
What is microevolution?
—Microevolution occurs when there's a shift in the proportion of alleles in a gene pool.
What is a gene pool?
—A gene pool is the total set of genes of all individuals in a population.
How do allele frequencies describe genetic variation?
—Allele frequencies describe the relative prevalence of different alleles within a population, reflecting the genetic diversity of that population.
00:00Genes are located on specific regions of a chromosome known as loci.
00:16For every gene, there are two copies - one from the mother and one from the father.
00:39Allele frequency is the relative proportion of a specific allele for a given gene within a population.
00:53Gene pool is the total set of genes of all individuals in a population.
01:15Microevolution occurs when there's a shift in the proportion of alleles in a gene pool.
01:55Genotype frequency is the proportion of individuals in a population that have a particular genotype.
02:30Allelic frequency is calculated by counting the total number of a particular allele divided by the total number of alleles in the population.
03:10Allele frequencies describe the genetic variation in a population.
