A population of sexually reproducing organisms with non-overlapping generations has two alleles: A1 and A2; p is the frequency of A1, q is the frequency of A2 (p+q=1). Allele A2 is recessive and lethal when in homozygous genotype (i.e. fitness of A2A2 is zero). Fitness of heterozygote is the same […]

Considering this, in what sense are the arms of humans homologous to thewings of a bird? 2. The green algal ancestors of plants existed in aquatic habitats, […]
