Gene frequency, also known as allele frequency, refers to the percentage of a particular allele in a population. This term is used in genetics and biology to understand the genetic makeup of a group of individuals. Synonyms for gene frequency include gene pool, genetic composition, and genetic distribution. Gene pool refers to the total collection of genes in a population, while genetic composition and genetic distribution refer to the specific combination and prevalence of alleles in a population. Understanding gene frequency and its synonyms can help in studying genetic traits, diseases, and evolution.
