Genotypic Frequencies |
Three alleles |
f(A1) = p |
f(A1A1) = p2 |
| f(A2) = q |
f(A1A2) = 2pq |
| f(A3) = r |
f(A2A2) = q2 |
| | f(A1A3) = 2pr |
| | f(A2A3) = 2qr |
| | f(A3A3) = r2 |
X-linked alleles |
f(x1) = p |
f(X1X1 female) = p2 |
| f(X2) = q |
f(X1X2 female) = 2pq |
| | f(X2X2 female) = q2 |
| | f(X1Y male) = p |
| | f(X2Y male) = q |
Note: For X-linked female genotypes, the frequencies are the proportions among all females; for X-linked male genotypes, the frequencies are the proportions among all males. |
