Allozyme phenotypes of alcohol dehydrogenase in the flowering plant phox drummondii are determined by three co-dominant alleles of a single gene. in one sample of 70 plants the following data were obtained:

genotype a1a1 a2a2 a3a3 a1a2 a1a3 a2a3
number 4 24 10 10 2 20
what is the frequency of the a2 allele in this sample?

0.628

0.238

0.557

0.432

0.337

0.557

Explanation:

First calculate for the genetic frequencies

A1A1 = 4/70 = 0.057

A2A2 = 24/70 = 0.34

A3A3 = 10/70 = 0.14

A1A2 = 10/70 = 0.14

A1A3 = 2/70 = 0.029

A2A3 = 20/70 = 0.29

Frequency of A2 allele therefore = 0.34 + (0.5×0.14) + (0.5×0.29)

= 0.556

The difference in the answer is due to approximations.
