Question
Calculate the allele frequency in the following population; round to the nearest tenth (see table)
**Genotype Table: Allele Frequency Calculation**

| Genotype | Number of Individuals | Number of A Alleles | Number of S Alleles |
|----------|-----------------------|---------------------|---------------------|
| AA       | 100                   |                     |                     |
| AS       | 50                    |                     |                     |
| SS       | 100                   |                     |                     |

**Calculations:**

- **Total Individuals =**
- **Total A Alleles =**
- **Total S Alleles =**
- **Total Alleles =**

**Allele Frequencies:**

- **A Allele Frequency =**
- **S Allele Frequency =**
- **Total Allele Frequency = 1**

This table is used to calculate allele frequencies based on the genotypes observed in a population. The number of individuals for each genotype (AA, AS, and SS) is given, and further calculations are needed to determine the number and frequency of each allele.
