Detailed explanation-1: -Genotype frequency in a population is the number of individuals with a given genotype divided by the total number of individuals in the population. In population genetics, the genotype frequency is the frequency or proportion (i.e., 0 < f < 1) of genotypes in a population.
Detailed explanation-2: -How is phenotype frequency computed? dividing the number of individuals with a particular phenotype by the number of total individuals in a population.
Detailed explanation-3: -The frequency of each genotype is the number of individuals in the population with that genotype divided by the total number of individuals in the population, as displayed in Table 1. (Note that total genotype frequencies sum to 1.0.)
Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -To compare different phenotype frequencies, the relative phenotype frequency for each phenotype can be calculated by counting the number of times a particular phenotype appears in a population and dividing it by the total number of individuals in the population.
