A change in the frequency of a gene or trait in a population over multiple. Differential survival and reproduction of some organisms over others because of their biological characteristics. A genotype frequency is a measure of the relative proportions of different genotypes within a population. An allele frequency is a measure of the relative proportions of alleles within a population. Assume we have a two allele system with the frequency of each allele represented by p and q . So for mendel"s peas: p = freq of allele, q = freq of allele. If we want to examine genotype frequencies, we must consider the combination of p and q . P2 + 2pq + q2 = 1. 2pq = freq of yy individuals q2 = freq of yy individuals.
