Answer:

Phenotype frequency is the representation of number of individual in a cross/population belonging to/or carrying a specific trait or characteristics.

Step-by-step explanation:

Phenotype frequency is the representation of number of individual in a cross/population belonging to/or carrying a specific trait or characteristics.

For example -

Green color of pea plant is dominant over yellow color. Color is a phenotype.

When a green pod pea plant (GG) is crossed with a yellow pod pea plant (gg) , then the following offspring will be produced -

GG x gg

Gg, Gg, Gg, Gg

We can see that all the offspring in the first generation cross between GG and gg are green in color. Thus, frequency of green color pods (Phenotypic frequency) in I generation is 100%.
