The distribution of alleles in a population - APEX
The total frequency of alleles in a population must equal 1. If the frequency of the white spot allele is 0.53, then the frequency of the brown spot allele can be calculated by subtracting the white allele frequency from 1. Therefore, the frequency of the brown spot allele is 1 - 0.53 = 0.47.

Minor allele frequency (MAF) is the frequency at which the less common allele appears in a particular population. Major allele frequency (MAF) is the frequency at which the more common allele appears in a particular population. They are useful measures for studying genetic variation within populations.
The frequency of an allele in a gene pool is determined by counting the number of copies of that allele in a population. This frequency can change through evolutionary processes such as genetic drift, natural selection, mutation, and gene flow. Tracking allele frequencies helps scientists study population genetics and evolutionary dynamics.
To find the allele frequency for the recessive allele, we first determine the proportion of rabbits with white fur, which is 20 out of 100, or 0.20. Assuming white fur is caused by a recessive allele (let's call it "a"), these rabbits represent the homozygous recessive genotype (aa). Using the Hardy-Weinberg principle, if q² = 0.20, then q (the frequency of the recessive allele) is the square root of 0.20, which is approximately 0.447. Thus, the allele frequency for the recessive allele is about 0.447 or 44.7%.
An example of allele frequency is when in a population of 100 individuals, 60 individuals have the dominant allele (A) for a specific gene, while 40 individuals have the recessive allele (a). The frequency of the dominant allele (A) would be 0.6, and the frequency of the recessive allele (a) would be 0.4.

Random change in allele frequency is called genetic drift.
Allele frequency refers to the proportion of a specific allele in a population's gene pool. For example, in a population of birds, the allele frequency for the gene that determines feather color might be 0.7 for the brown allele and 0.3 for the white allele.
The allele frequency in a population determines the genotype frequency. Allele frequency refers to how often a particular version of a gene appears in a population, while genotype frequency is the proportion of individuals with a specific genetic makeup. Changes in allele frequency can lead to changes in genotype frequency within a population over time.

Yes, the ratios of genotypes for a specific trait can change if allele frequency changes.
When allele frequency changes, a population is said to no longer be in genetic equilibrium.
