Genotype Frequency to Phenotype Probability Calculator
How to Use This Tool:
This tool helps calculate the probability of different phenotypes based on the frequencies of the three possible genotypes (AA, Aa, aa) for a single gene with two alleles (A and a).
Input Frequencies:
- Enter the percentage frequency for each genotype: AA, Aa, and aa.
- The sum of these three frequencies **must** be 100%. The tool will validate this.
Dominance Pattern:
- Complete Dominance: If allele 'A' is completely dominant over 'a', then individuals with genotypes 'AA' and 'Aa' will express the same dominant phenotype. Only 'aa' individuals will express the recessive phenotype.
- Incomplete Dominance / Codominance: In these cases, each genotype (AA, Aa, aa) results in a distinct phenotype. For example, in incomplete dominance, 'Aa' might show an intermediate phenotype. In codominance, both 'A' and 'a' might be expressed simultaneously (e.g., blood types).
Calculation Logic:
- Complete Dominance:
- Probability of Dominant Phenotype: Frequency(AA) + Frequency(Aa)
- Probability of Recessive Phenotype: Frequency(aa)
- Incomplete Dominance / Codominance:
- Probability of Phenotype for AA: Frequency(AA)
- Probability of Phenotype for Aa: Frequency(Aa)
- Probability of Phenotype for aa: Frequency(aa)
