Document Summary

Tend to be low in plants and animals and even lower in prokaryotes. Prokaryotes: have many more generations over time so mutations can quickly generate genetic variation in their populations. Viruses: has a generation span of two days and an rna genome which has a very high genotypes parent) trade some of their alleles so fast, sexual reproduction mutation rate because of the lack of rna repair mechanisms. Genetic variation results from the combo of alleles given by both parents: hiv is able to mutate to resist the drug very rapidly so the treatment is a, rearranges existing alleles into fresh combinations. Drug cocktail so that the virus doesn"t become resistant to all of the drugs. Fixed if only one allele exists for a particular locus in a population and all: allele frequency each allele has a proportion in a population individuals are homozygous for that allele.
