Answer:

0.04 for 6 legs starfish and 0.96 for 5 legs starfish.

Explanation:

The allele frequency for the 6 legs starfish is 0.04 whereas, the allele frequency for the 5 legs starfish is 0.96 because there is only one 6 legs starfish in the given population as compared to 5 legs starfish. The low population of 6 legs starfish is due to the presence of recessive allele while on the other hand, higher population of 5 legs starfish is due to the presence of dominant allele. The allele frequencies for both population is done by dividing the allele of interest by total number of alleles present in the population.
