In the beetles described in the animation, there were two alleles for color, brown and green. Suppose that you discover a very small population of these beetles, consisting of the individuals shown below. How can you calculate the frequency of each allele in this population?
Drag the terms or numbers on the left to the appropriate blanks on the right to complete the sentences. Not all terms will be used.
Terms or numbers:
0.4 ; 0.6 ; 8 ; 20 ; Brown alleles
Sentences:
1. To calculate the frequency of the brown allele, count the number of ________________ and divide by the total number of alleles in this population.
2. In this beetle population, the number of brown alleles is ___.
3. In this beetle population, the total number of alleles is ___.
4. The frequency of the brown allele in this beetle population is _____.
5. The frequency of the green allele in this beetle population is _____.



Answer :

To calculate the frequency of the brown allele, count  number of brown alleles and divide by  total number of alleles in this population.

In this beetle population, the number of the brown alleles is 8.

In this beetle population, the total number of the alleles is 20.

Frequency of brown allele in this beetle population is 0.4.

Frequency of  green allele in this beetle population is  0.6.

Allele frequency refers to how not unusual an allele is in a populace. It is decided by counting how typically the allele seems inside the population and then dividing by the full variety of copies of the gene.

Gene frequency can be defined as the fraction or percentage of a population that contains an allele at a selected locus (Gillespie 2004).

Relative genotype frequency and relative allele frequency are the most essential measures of genetic variation. Relative genotype frequency is the proportion of individuals in a populace that has a specific genotype.
