QUESTION

Fraction of all alleles that occur at a given locus in a specified population is defined as?

OPTIONS

(A) Variation
(B) Heritability
(C) Gene frequency
(D) Regression

ANSWER

(C) Gene frequency

Gene frequency, or allele frequency, is the proportion of copies of a particular allele among all allele copies at a specified locus in a defined population. Variation refers to differences among individuals, heritability describes the proportion of phenotypic variance attributable to genetic variance, and regression describes a statistical relationship between variables.
