Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If the allele frequency of g is 0.91, what is the allele frequency of G?
A
0.09
B
0.3
C
not possible
D
8
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An allele frequency 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 frequencies can be represented as a decimal, a percentage, or a fraction.

Detailed explanation-2: -The allele frequency of G and A was found to be 0.69 and 0.31, respectively.

Detailed explanation-3: -Another aspect of alleles and segregation is the concept of allele frequencies within a population. On an individual level, a person has a 0.5 chance of passing on one of two alleles for a given gene.
