Question

Compare and contrast gene and allele frequencies

Answer 1

Individual frequencies are represented as p and q such as in a diploid, where p and q represent the frequency of allele A and a.

From the punnet square the frequency of individuals in a population can be calculated as follows:

 

 

Females

A(p)

a(q)

Males

A(p)

AA(p2)

Aa(pq)

a(q)

Aa(pq)

aa(q2)

 

 

 

 

 

Here the frequency of AA is (p2),

Frequency of aa is (q2)

and, the frequency of Aa is (2pq)

 

Hence p2+2pq+q2= 1

 

Hope this helps,

Cheers!!

Answer 2

HELLO FRIEND HERE IS YOUR.
Genes are DNA sequences that make functional products (as a very general definition). Alleles are different forms of a DNA sequence. One gene can have two or even more alleles.
