Brut [27]
South African people are vaccinated with Yellow fever. First, SA is strict in the implementation proof of vaccination in travelers coming in the country. The vaccination card must show vaccination at least ten days prior to travel. This is to prevent reintroduction of the disease to SA people. Second, In the list of Center for Disease Control, South Africa is not included in the countries with an endemic Yellow fever which means that the disease is wiped out if not controlled through vaccination.

If the frequency of an allele is 0.75, how many copies of this allele should be in a population of 300 diploid individuals?
Ray Of Light [21]

I have provided the options below:

a. 150

b. 225

c. 300

d. 450

e. 75

Answer:

150

Explanation:

Hardy-Weinberg law states, the allelic frequencies of a gene that is, q and p follow the relationship p^2+q^2+2pq = 1, if the population is in equilibrium.

Therefore p^2+q^2+2pq = 1, can be used to calculate the percentage of the allelic frequencies i.e. p^2 and q^2

Allelic frequency = 0.75.

Therefore, the percentage of the allele in the population would be given by

0.75^2 = 0.5625 = 56%.

And the total number of individuals with this allele in the population:

number of individuals = 56×300÷100

= 168 or

150 nearest figure.
