Detailed explanation-1: -Relative frequency is the number of times an allele occurs in a gene pool compared with the number of times other alleles for the same gene occur.
Detailed explanation-2: -Allele frequency refers to how common an allele is in a population. It is determined by counting how many times the allele appears in the population then dividing by the total number of copies of the gene.
Detailed explanation-3: -Genetic variation is usually expressed as a relative frequency, which means a proportion of the total population under study. In other words, a relative frequency value represents the percentage of a given phenotype, genotype, or allele within a population.
Detailed explanation-4: -The abundance of a single version of the gene in the population as compared to other versions is considered to be the allele frequency. An example of alleles might be the different variants of a gene that determine eye color.
