Biology Suppose that recessive deleterious allele is found

Last updated: 5/13/2023

Biology Suppose that recessive deleterious allele is found to be much less common than its predicted equilibrium frequency based on the selection coefficient and mutation rate measured in modern populations Which of the following is the best explanation for this Note that when selection or mutation rates change it may take hundred of generations for population to reach its new equilibrium A Selection against the allele was weaker in the past than today B Mutation rates were higher in the past C Heterozygote advantage in some environments D Increases lifespans have made the allele more deleterious now than it was in the past
