Phenotype
The ratio of the total
number of a
particular allele to
the total number of
all the alleles in the
gene pool
The ratio of the
number of individuals
with a particular
genotype to the total
number of all the
individual in the

Definition
p = dominant allele frequency
q = recessive allele frequency
p2 = homozygous dominant genotype
2pq = heterozygous genotype
q2 = homozygous recessive genotype

group of individuals of
the same species
occupying a given area
that can freely interbreed
and produce fertile
offspring in nature.
