In allelic frequency P + Q =
Correct answer: C. 1.0
- A. 0.2
- B. 0.8
- C. 1.0
- D. 2.0
Explanation
Note that p+q= 1; the combined frequencies of all possible alleles must account for 100% of the genes for that locus in the population.

About Evolution
Evolution describes heritable change in populations over generations through variation, natural selection and adaptation. Lamarckism explains inheritance of acquired characteristics, while Darwinism explains selection of favourable inherited variations; these historical explanations must not be confused with the modern genetic account of evolutionary change.
