Answer:

50%

Explanation:

Let's assume that the allele "T" gives the normal phenotype while the recessive allele "t" imparts the disease and is lethal in homozygous condition. The genotype of each of the two carrier parents would be "Tt". A cross between Tt and Tt would give the progeny in the following genotype ratio=

Tt x Tt= 1/4 TT: 1/2 Tt: 1/4 tt

Therefore, 1/2 or 50% progeny would be the carrier for the Tay-Sachs disease.

kow [346]

Answer:

3.dominant alleles more frequent than recessive alleles

Explanation:

To achieve hard-Weinberg equilibrium, certain conditions must be made.

These conditions are:

1. There is noo mutation,

2. Existence of random mating,

3. There should be no natural selection

4. There is the infinite population size

5. No migration

1. The cell is the basic unit of life

2. All living organisms are made up cells

3. Cells arose from pre-exsiting cells.

<u>Other levels of organisation include tissues which are group of cells specialized for a certain function, organs which are group of tissues serving similar function, and systems which are group of organs working together as a unit.</u>
