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.
