To find the total number of alleles and their frequencies, we can use the following formulas:
-
Total number of alleles in a population can be calculated as follows: \[ \text{Total alleles} = \text{Number of A alleles} + \text{Number of a alleles} \]
-
Frequency of a specific allele is calculated by dividing the number of that allele by the total number of alleles: \[ \text{Frequency of allele A} = \frac{\text{Number of A alleles}}{\text{Total alleles}} \] \[ \text{Frequency of allele a} = \frac{\text{Number of a alleles}}{\text{Total alleles}} \]
Now, let's calculate:
-
Total number of alleles: \[ \text{Total alleles} = 224 , (A) + 176 , (a) = 400 \]
-
Frequency of the A allele: \[ \text{Frequency of A} = \frac{224}{400} = 0.56 \]
-
Frequency of the a allele: \[ \text{Frequency of a} = \frac{176}{400} = 0.44 \]
Summary of Answers:
- Total number of alleles: 400
- Frequency of A allele: 0.56
- Frequency of a allele: 0.44
