Allele frequency refers to the fraction of individuals with a particular version of a given gene. What effect does the founder effect have on the allele frequency of a population?
OA. It greatly reduces the total population, which increases the effects of genetic drift on allele frequency
ОВ. It causes the allele frequency to resemble that of a small number of individuals that became separated from the rest of
the population
C.
It causes random changes and the allele frequency of certain traits may increase or decrease.
D.
It increases the frequency of alleles that improve a species' survival in a particular environment.

Coat color in cats is determined by genes at several different loci. at one locus on the x chromosome, one allele (x ) encodes black fur and another allele (xo) encodes orange fur. females can be black (x x ), orange (xoxo), or a mixture of orange and black called tortoiseshell (x xo). males are either black (x y) or orange (xoy). bill has a female tortoiseshell cat named patches. one night, patches escapes from bill\'s house, spends the night out, and mates with a stray male. patches later gives birth to the following kittens: one orange male, one black male, two tortoiseshell females, and one orange female. what are the genotypes of patches, the stray male, and the kittens?

Photosynthesis uses co2 and cellular respiration produces co2. we call the point when the two processes are in balance--when there is no net production of co2--the compensation point. how might you limit one of the processes in order to achieve a compensation point?
