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: -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: -The frequency of CC, CT and TT genotypes was 69%, 27% and 4%, respectively.
Detailed explanation-4: -Count up the aa types and you have the observed q2. Then, take the square root of q2 to get q, and then subtract q from 1 to get p. Square p to get p2 and multiply 2*p*q to get the observed heterozygous Aa genotype frequency.
