What question did H.T.J. Norton ask regarding the frequency of a trait and selection? If there was a modest selective advantage of 0.01, how many generations would it take for a trait to increase from 0.8% of individuals to 90% of individuals in a population? Is a change in the frequency of a trait detectable in small or large populations?

Solution

H.T.J question was Given some initial frequency of a trait in a population, how long would it take to increase or decrease this frequency under different rates of selection?

it cannot be predict with mathematical equation because some individuaals will evaluate and some not and some will die and some not. every thing depend on various factor.
