4 0

Answer:

population = 600

heterozygotes = 2pq

The homozygous recessive percentage = q^{2}

q = 0.1

Solve for q:

∴ q = \sqrt{q}

∴ q = \sqrt{0.10}

∴ q = 0.316

solve for p:

for p + q = 1,

thus p = 1 – q = 1 – 0.316 = 0.684  

The heterozygotes = 2pq

2pq =  2 x 0.316 x 0.684 = 0.432

600 x 0.432 = 259.2  = 259

so,  the population reaches Hardy Weinberg equilibrium, 259 of indviduals should be heterozygous for this trait.

Hence, the correct answer is 259 .

Do you think that genetic testing is ethical right or wrong?
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Genetic testings is very ethical in a sense that it helps determine the DNA of a child.

Explanation:

Genetic testing is a type of medical test that identifies changes in chromosomes, genes, or proteins. The results of a genetic test can confirm or rule out a suspected genetic condition or help determine a person's chance of developing or passing on a genetic disorder. This means that a family can find out whether their child has autism before it is even born, or discover a potential mutation it might have. It is a cautious procedure but inhabits the well being of a child.
