Imagine that each allele at the BXP007 locus is found at exactly the same frequency in a population. Since there are 8 possible alleles at the BXP007 locus, what is the frequency of any one allele from this locus in this population?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Explanation:

The variant forms of a gene are produced when they are located at the same position or gene locus on any chromosome.  

So frequency of an allele is calculated by dividing the number of times a particular allele is observed in a given population by the total number of copies of all the alleles that can occur at that genetic location for that population.  

Based on above explanation, the frequency of any one allele from this locus in this population is equal to

[tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
