Frequency refers to how many copies of a gene are present in an entire population.
Frequency is calculated using the Hardy-Weinberg Principle and can be back calculated if the number of homozygous recessive individuals in a population is known.
Keep in mind that the frequency includes the number of alleles present in heterozygous individuals as well as in the homozygotes.
p (dominant alleles)+ q (recessive alleles) = 1
p squared + 2pq (heterozygotes) + q squared = 1
If 25% of the population is recessive that means that q squared=.25 and q=.5
This also makes p=.5
This represents the mendelian ideal of 25% homozygous dominant, 50% heterozygous and 25% homozygous recessive.
Populations rarely have frequencies that match the "ideal" with large percentages of
traits with q or p frequencies at close to .99 when the other allele is quite rare.

Are phenotypic ratios are always the same as genotypic ratios?
Expected phenotypic ratios are always the same: 3:1. Expected genotypic ratios are always the same: 1:2:1.
What is the difference between phenotypic and genotypic characteristics?
Phenotype is you outside appearance and Genotype is your genes
If both parents were Dd then what would the phenotypic ratio be?
Phenotypic ratio: 3 D, 1d [3 dominant, 1 recessive] Genotypic ratio: 1DD, 2Dd, 1dd
How does a punnett square show precetages of phenotypes and geneotypes?
Punnett Squares do not directly tell you the percentages of phenotypes and genotypes, it tells you the probability of the expected genotypes. Based on the Punnett Square, you can infer about the genotypic and phenotypic ratios.
What can fruit flies reveal about inheritance?
Fruit flies are a powerful asset when studying inheritance because their chromosomes are visible with light microscopes, and they reproduce rather quickly! They can reproduce in a matter of a couple weeks, with around hundreds of offspring! Thus it is easier to see phenotypic patterns as well as genotypic inheritance in fruit flies.
Are phenotypic ratios are always the same as genotypic ratios?
Expected phenotypic ratios are always the same: 3:1. Expected genotypic ratios are always the same: 1:2:1.
What can genetic drift be described as?
The Phenotypic Expressions of the constantly varying Genotypic actualities.
What is the difference between phenotypic and genotypic characteristics?
Phenotype is you outside appearance and Genotype is your genes
If both parents were Dd then what would the phenotypic ratio be?
Phenotypic ratio: 3 D, 1d [3 dominant, 1 recessive] Genotypic ratio: 1DD, 2Dd, 1dd
What is mean by variety?
phenotypic and genotypic variates in a population lead to the formation of varieties. Any variavility in the population results in the formation of a variety.
Why does the expected genotypic ratio often differ from the expected phenotypic ratio from monohybrid cross?
Because in heterozygotes, both alleles are transcribed and translated.
Traits and their meanings of scientists?
traits are the phenotypic and genotypic characters which may or may not be visible in individual but present as a particular genetic code in each organism.
A homozygous dominant brown mouse is crossed with a heterozygous brown mouse (White is the recessive color)?
A pretty bow
In aquirrelsblack fur is recessive to grar fur show the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of a cross between a heterozygous gray squirrel with a black squirrel?
they can not cross breed.
What causes varation in traits?
Genotypic variation is caused by mutation. Phenotypic variation can be caused by mutation, which gives rise to different alleles, or it can be caused by environmental factors.
What is the phenotypic ratio of the?
Asuming that the F1 generation is heterozygous for a single trait and that the F2 cross is of 2 F1 offspring. Ex. Aa X Aa the phenotypic ratio is 3:1 dominant to recessive. The genotypic ratio is 1:2:1 AA:Aa:aa.
What is the phenotypic of the F2 generation?
Asuming that the F1 generation is heterozygous for a single trait and that the F2 cross is of 2 F1 offspring. Ex. Aa X Aa the phenotypic ratio is 3:1 dominant to recessive. The genotypic ratio is 1:2:1 AA:Aa:aa.
