Explanation:
Allele frequency is determined by the relative frequency of a specific allele an autosomal locus in a population, in accordance with the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium rule the allelic frequencies (frequency of recessive and dominant allele) in a particular population will not change from one generation to the next, if there is no mutation, assortative mating, selection, migration, and genetic drift.According to the Hardy-Weinberg equation \(\mathrm{p}^{2}+2 \mathrm{pq}+\mathrm{q}^{2}=1\), where \(\mathrm{p}\) denotes dominant allele frequency, \(q\) denotes recessive allele frequency, the \(\mathrm{p}^{2}=\) frequency of the homozygous dominant allele, the \(\mathrm{q}^{2}=\) frequency of the recessive allele, the \(2 \mathrm{pq}=\) frequency of the heterozygous allele.
