8 0

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.

A child is born with sickle cell anemia. What can you conclude about the potential genotypes of the parents?
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

The potential parental genotypes could be "both recessive" or "both heterozygous".

Explanation:

Sickle cell anemia is a disease where there are not enough red blood cells throughout the body so they are not able to carry the necessary amount of oxygen for the body to function properly. It is a disease that is carried on recessive genes so for an individual to have this disorder, they must have to recessive genes from both parents. In this case the potential parental genotypes could be "both recessive" or "both heterozygous".

I hope this answer helps.
