According to Hardy-Weinberg's principle, the sum of the allele frequencies for all the alleles at the locus must be 1. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium states that in the absence of external disturbing factors, the amount of genetic variation in a population will remain constant from one generation to the next generation. There are 28 possible alleles at D1S80 locus. Each of these alleles at the D1S80 locus is found at extacly the same frequency in human population. So, the frequency of any one allele from this locus in this population is 1/28.
