Sickle cell disease is an autosomal recessive disease. Homozygous dominant (SS) and heterozygous (Ss) individuals will be non-diseased, but homozygous recessive (ss) individuals will have the disease. A study of sickle cell disease in New York found that in a one year period: 1/1146 of all infants in the state were born with sickle cell disease 1/230 non-hispanic black infants were born with sickle cell disease 1/41,647 non-hispanic white infants were born with sickle cell disease 1/2,320 hispanic infants were...

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...

Even though sickle-cell anemia is usually fatal to homozygous individuals, the disease persists because: Gene therapy has alleviated the condition The disease is carried on the dominant allele Individuals with one allele for sickle-cell anemia are resistant to malaria None of the above

Hardy-Weinberg Practice Problems: You need to list equations used and provide steps of problem solving. Providing answer itself is not enough for full grade. 1. You have sampled a population in which you know that the percentage of the homozygous recessive genotype (aa) is 36%. Calculate the frequency of the heterozygous genotype, homozygous dominant genotype and homozygous recessive genotype. 2. You have sampled a population in which you know that the percentage of the homozygous recessive genotype (aa) is 49%....

The occurrence of the NN blood group genotype in the US population is 1 in 400, consider NN as the homozygous recessive genotype in this population. You sample 1,000 individuals from a large population for the MN blood group, which can easily be measured since co-dominance is involved (i.e., you can detect the heterozygotes). They are typed accordingly: BLOOD TYPE GENOTYPE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS RESULTING FREQUENCY M MM 490 0.49 MN MN 420 0.42 N NN 90 0.09 Using the...

In a hypothetical population which is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency for a recessive allele is 30%. What percentage of the population would be expected to show the dominant trait in the next generation? Humans who are born homozygous for the recessive sickle cell allele die of sickle cell anemia, while those who are heterozygous are resistant to malaria (see chapter 4 for more information on this balanced polymorphism). 4% of the population of the Congo are homozygous recessive for...
In humans, sickle-cell anemia is caused by a recessive lethal allele Hbs. A healthy allele is...
In humans, sickle-cell anemia is caused by a recessive lethal allele Hbs. A healthy allele is denoted by Hba. Following is a table that shows the three possible genotypes, with the associated phenotypes. Genotype Phenotype Hba Hba Healthy (no sign of disease) HbaHbs Healthy (no sign of disease) Hbs Hbs Shows symptoms of sickle-cell anemia What is the probability of two heterozygous individuals giving birth to a child who has a sickle-cell allele, but shows a healthy phenotype? Enter in...

Calculating expected genotypic frequencies and individuals in a population from allele frequencies: 3.1 In a population of peas, the frequency of the dominant allele for a purple flower is 0.77 and the frequency of the recessive allele for a white flower is 0.23. What would the genotypic frequencies be if the population is in equilibrium? _____ = Frequency of homozygous dominant individuals _____ = Frequency of heterozygous individuals _____ = Frequency of homozygous recessive individuals How many individuals would you...
A mutation in one of the hemoglobin genes causes sickle cell anemia. The sickle cell allele,...
A mutation in one of the hemoglobin genes causes sickle cell anemia. The sickle cell allele, S, severely reduces fitness in people who are homozygotes, SS. In contrast, people with at least one normal hemoglobin allele, A, do not suffer the effects of sickle cell anemia, even if the individual is a heterozygote, AS. Interestingly, though, in areas with a high rate of malaria, heterozygotes that carry the sickle cell allele have a higher fitness than do individuals that are...
