How to find genotype and allele frequency in merging populations

Genetic variation in populations can be analyzed and quantified by the frequency of alleles. Two fundamental calculations are central to population genetics: allele frequencies and genotype frequencies. Genotype frequency in a population is the number of individuals with a given genotype divided by the total number of individuals in the population. In population genetics, the genotype frequency is the frequency or proportion of genotypes in a population. Although allele and genotype frequencies are related, it is important to clearly distinguish them. Genotype frequency may also be used in the future (for “genomic profiling“) to predict someone’s having a disease or even a birth defect. It can also be used to determine ethnic diversity. #gene #Allele #DNA #Genetics #dominance #AlleleFrequency #geneFrequency #NikolaysGeneticsLessons
