Question

while living on the beach for the summer, a college student decides to make several personal changes. first, she goes to the tanning salon to get a good tan. she then visits a tattoo parlor to get a cute tattoo on her wrist. she also frequents a gym to tone her muscles. lastly, she gets a perm that turns her hair curly. how many changes in allele frequency occurred in the student during this summer of change?

Explanation:

Step1: Understand allele frequency change

Allele frequency changes occur due to evolutionary processes (like natural selection, mutation, etc.) affecting genetic material. The student's changes (tanning, tattoo, muscle toning, perm) are phenotypic, not genetic (no change in her DNA/alleles).

Step2: Count allele frequency changes

Since none of her changes alter her alleles (or allele frequencies), the number of allele frequency changes is 0.

Answer:

0
