In 1978, scientists studied how the fitness of marine sticklebacks would be affected if they were introduced into a freshwater environment. They collected 90 male and 90 female sticklebacks from a marine population and 10 male and 10 female sticklebacks from a freshwater population. The 200 sticklebacks were introduced into a freshwater environment that had no stickleback fish previously.

Recently a scientist decided to repeat this study, but relocated a population of sticklebacks from a freshwater environment into a marine environment. Which of the following best predicts how the frequency of the allele would change over time if a population of sticklebacks from a freshwater environment was placed into a marine environment?

Respuesta :

The frequency of alleles in the population started low and continued to increase over time.

What is frequency of alleles?

The frequency of alleles refers to the ratio of the number of times an allele occurs to the copies of all the alleles at that particular genetic locus  in the given population.

We can see that the sticklebacks had a greater number of those introduced from marine to fresh water hence of the 200 sticklebacks, the frequency of alleles in the population started low and continued to increase over time.
