The allele frequency represents the incidence of a gene variant in a population. Alleles are variant forms of a gene that are located at the same position, or genetic locus, on a chromosome.

If PKU carriers were most likely to have children than non-carriers because of the protective effects of the PKU gene, over time, the disease-causing allele would increase the population.

Chromosomes contain hundreds to thousands of genes, which are sections of DNA located at specific points on a chromosome. The Y chromosome is an exception, only containing a few dozen genes.
