huntington's disease is caused by a dominant allele (h) at an autosomal gene. the disease causes neurodegeneration, and people that have it often die at a young age. you are studying a population and find that the frequency of genotype hh is 0.09. what change might you expect to see in this population over time?

Respuesta :

The prevalence of homozygous recessive people will rise due to natural selection.

Does natural selection contribute to population growth?

  • Natural selection can lead to microevolution (change in allele frequencies), with fitness-increasing alleles becoming more abundant in the population.
  • Polygenic traits or features determined by various alleles of a same gene can be affected by natural selection (traits determined by many genes).
  • Three different kinds of natural selection can take place on features that are influenced by several genes: stabilizing selection, directional selection, and disruptive selection.
