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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The allele frequency is the number of individual alleles of a certain type, divided by the total number of alleles of all types in a population. In simple terms, the allele frequency describes how common an allele is within a population.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Hardy-Weinberg equation represents allele frequency and how these alleles are categorized into genotypes within a population, p² + 2pq + q² = 1. The two variables p and q represent the alleles while the p², 2pq, and q² represent the genotypes.

Detailed explanation-4: -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. The gene pool of a population consists of all the copies of all the genes in that population.

Detailed explanation-5: -A gene pool is the sum of all the alleles (variants of a gene) in a population.
