E) evolutionary genetics
Population Genetics
The study of the distribution and changes of allele frequency in a population, as influenced by evolutionary processes.
Allele Frequencies
The relative frequency of different alleles of a particular gene in a given population, essential in studying genetic variation and evolution.
Genetic Variability
The variation in the DNA sequence in each of our genomes, which is essential for a population's adaptability to changing environments.
