Alleles

Different versions of a gene that can exist at a single locus on a chromosome, contributing to the diversity of phenotypes.

Population

A group of individuals of the same species living and interbreeding within a given area.

Allele Frequency

Allele frequency refers to how common an allele is in a population, expressed as a proportion or percentage of all alleles for a given gene in the population.
