Sickle-cell anemia is caused by a single point mutation in the hemoglobin of human red blood cells. It is a recessive gene. People who have sickle cell anemia are homozygous recessive and suffer terribly from this disorder. Now I have stated in lecture that mutations are neither good nor bad. Rather it depends on how the mutation effects the survival of the species. If the mutation harms the survival of the species it is bad, if it helps the survival of the species it is good. Now tell me is this mutation good or bad? What do you think?

In humans, sickle-cell anemia (HBBSHBBS) is caused by the recessive condition of an autosomal gene with two alleles: HBBA (wild-type) and HBBS (sickle-cell mutation). In one population, the frequency of individuals who do not suffer from sickle-cell anemia (HBBAHBBA and HBBAHBBS) is 0.9964. Assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of the HBBS allele?
2. Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium; chi-square test Sickle cell anemia is a recessive disorder caused by a recessive mutation (S) in the b-hemoglobin gene. 80% of affected SS individuals die before reproducing. Heterozygotes (AS) and homozygous dominant (AA) individuals do not have sickle cell anemia. The table below shows the number of people of each genotype in a population of 100 people in population of Cameroon. Observed # individuals in a Cameroon population AA AS SS 62 32 6 What are the...
Mendelian Genetics The gene involved in the disease Sickle Cell Anemia (SCA) is on human chromosome 11. Allele “A” is the normal form of the gene and codes for a part of the protein complex called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is required for your blood cells to carry oxygen. Allele “a” is an abnormal form of the gene. The hemoglobin protein made from the “a” allele is defective. Red blood cells containing the defective protein are very fragile. This disease is recessive–meaning...
