Study Notes
Cline
- A cline is a result of a relatively simple form of selection in a heterogeneous environment.
- A cline is a gradient of gene frequency between one locality and another.
- In a cline, one allele is present at a high frequency at one end.
- The same allele is present at a low frequency at the other end of the cline.

Description
A cline is a gradient of gene frequency between two localities, resulting in a continuous variation of allele frequency. This concept is crucial in understanding population genetics. Test your knowledge on clines and gene frequency!
