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?

Red-green colorblindness is an X-linked, recessive trait. Suppose a group of 100 female and 100 male astronauts is sent to colonize a planet. 20 of the males are colorblind. 10 of the females are colorblind, and 30 are carriers. If this population were to establish a randomly mating colony in regards to this trait, what would you predict the frequency of colorblind males to be in the population over time if it were to immediately achieve and remain in Hardy-Weinberg...
