Answer:

Allele frequency

Step-by-step explanation:

Allele frequency can be described as the percentage or ratio for the existence of a particular allele in a population. Allele frequency determines which allele is present more abundantly in a population and which allele is not significantly present in the population. The allele frequency determines the genetic diversity which will be present in a population. The alleles which code for traits that make an organism more adaptable to a particular environment will have an increased allele frequency.
