Allele frequency

Explanation:

It is a comparative recurrence of an allele on a genetic locus in a population. It is expressed in terms of percentage, decimal or fraction. The variety of a species population genetics is given by Allele frequency. It represents the incidence of a gene variant in a population. It is calculated by dividing the number of times the allele of interest is observed in a population by the total number of copies of all the alleles at that particular genetic locus in the population. Allele frequency is a reflection of genetic diversity.
