The frequency of a variant of red fur gene in a fox population is increased from twenty to thirty percent due to the presence of new genes by evolution, mutation and genetic drift.
Further Explanation:
In a very short span, the frequency of allele or variant of a gene in a population is changed can be considered as microevolution. Gene pool consist of the total number of copies of a gene in any population. Mainly any alteration in the frequency of a variant of the gene is studied in population genetics. It is defined as the commonality of a specific allele in a population. It can be determined by calculating the time of a specific allele is appeared in a population is divided by the number of copies of that allele.
Any variation in the allele frequency occurs due to evolution such as genetic drift, mutations, natural selection and gene flow. Therefore, an increase in the allele frequency for the red fur gene of the fox population shows that the fox population is evolving. It mainly indicates the genetic variation in a population.
