Question

What is meant by allele frequency?

Answer 1

Allele frequency is the frequency of an allele relative to that of other alleles of the same gene in a population.

Explanation:

An allele can have a frequency of `0->1`.

If it is `1`, then all organisms in a population are homozygous (for this particular allele). When this occurs, genetic diversity is reduced and the allele is said to be 'fixed'.
