changes
in

and
phenotype
frequencies.
genotype
frequency
how

a
particular
genotype
shows
up
in
a
population.
i.e,
how
often
AA
shows
up.
phenotype
frequencies
proportion
of
individuals
in
a
population
that
express
a
particular
phenotype.
i.e
(if
complete
dominance)
AA
and
Aa,
what
trait
they
express
allele
frequency
how
common
a
specific
allele
is
in
a
population.
i.e,
A
or
a.
If
a
population
has
five
individuals,
how
many
alleles
will
it
have
?

Are
dominant
alleles
always
more
common?
NO.
