The frequency of carriers for a rare autosomal recessive genetic condition is 0.04 in a population. Assuming this population is
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

E

Explanation:

Hardy-Weinberg principle states that frequency of alelle and genotype will remain constant in the absence of genetic disturbances such as mutation, no change in the DNA sequence, the population must be large and others

the principle is defined by the equation

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

where the frequency of the dominant allele is p, and the frequency of the recessive allele is q. Going by the what is given which is for the carriers is 0.04 = 2pq

substitute the value into the expression

p² + 0.04  +  q² = 1;  The information is not enough to calculate either p or q going by the equation generated.

Compare and contrast the contributions of Neel, Pauling, and Ingram to our understanding of the genetic and molecular basis of s
taurus [48]

He demonstrated that SCD and sickle cell trait were due to the presence of abnormal 8-globin polypeptides in red blood cells. He demonstrated that the electrophhoretic mobility of B-globin from patients with SCD was different from that of healthy individuals. He demonstrated that both parents of multiple patients with SCD had low levels of sickled red blood cells. He hypothesized that SCD was a recessive trait and that the parents of patients with SCD would be heterozygous carriers. He demonstrated that the difference between B-globin polypeptides in individuals who were healthy and those with SCD is an amino acid substitution. He performed a peptide fingerprint analysis on B-globin from individuals with 84 84 and 89 88, which identified the segment of B-globin that was changed by the BS mutation.
