Allele frequency


Allele frequency is a measure of the relative frequency of an allele on a genetic locus in a population. Usually it is expressed as a proportion or a percentage.

Allele frequency is a term of population genetics that is used in characterizing the genetic diversity of a species population, or equivalently the richness of its gene pool. Allele frequency is defined as follows: ...

The final result of this random change in allele frequency is that the population eventually drifts to p=1 or p=0. After this point, no further change is possible; the population has become homozygous.

Changes in allele frequency that result because the genes appearing in offspring are not a perfectly representative sampling of the parental genes. (eg. in small populations). See also founder effect.
