Allele frequencies can change across the geographic range of a species according to climate,geological features,or direction in the range.For instance,a certain allele frequency might go up along with the elevation or down as you go south in the species' range.This systematic change in frequency is referred to as

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The systematic change in allele frequencies across the geographic range of a species is called a cline. This can be caused by various factors such as climate or geological features, resulting in a gradual change in the dominant allele as you move along the cline. Options A, C, and E are not correct because genetic drift, directional selection, and heterosis do not necessarily result in a systematic change in allele frequencies across a geographic range, but rather are related to changes within a specific population or group. Option B (q²) is not a recognized term or concept, so it is not an appropriate or valid answer.
