Question

Imagine the unlikely case that the 11 individuals represented in the gel image above were truly representative of the population. If 1 is the largest and 7 the smallest allele; what is the frequency (f) of allele 3? Give your answer as a percentage, to one decimal place, do not include the % symbol.
