The indirect Coombs test finds certain antibodies that are in the liquid part of your blood (serum). These antibodies can attack red blood cells but are not attached to your red blood cells. The indirect Coombs test is commonly done to find antibodies in a recipient's or donor's blood before a transfusion. A test to determine whether a woman has Rh-positive or Rh-negative blood (Rh antibody titer) is done early in pregnancy.
Allele frequency, or gene frequency, is the relative frequency of an allele (variant of a gene) at a particular locus in a population, expressed as a fraction or percentage. Specifically, it is the fraction of all chromosomes in the population that carry that allele.
The letter q represents the frequency of the a allele. An example is, in a population of 100 organisms, if 45% of the alleles are A then the frequency is .45. The remaining alleles would be 55% or .55.This is the allele frequency. An equation called the Hardy Weinberg equation for the allele frequencies of a population is p2+ 2pq+ q2 = 1. P represents the A allele frequency.The letter q represents the a allele. Hardy and Weinberg also gave five conditions that would ensure the allele frequencies of a population would remain constant.60 individuals are homozygous dominant and 480 are heterozygous. 2. The allele for the ability to roll one s tongue is dominant over the allele for the lack of this ability. In a population of 500 individuals, 25 percent show the recessive phenotype.
