The correct answer is the final option - sickle cell disease and malaria are both potentially lethal diseases.
The other options are incorrect because sickle cell disease is an inherited disease, but malaria is not - it is an infectious disease. However, both of these disease are quite dangerous, and may have severe consequences (such as death) if they are not properly treated.
Complete question:
A sample of butterflies contained 50% yellow-winged individuals and 50% black-winged individuals. In this species, wing color is determined by a single gene with two alleles, and the allele for black is dominant. Which of the following statements about the allele frequencies in the sample would most likely be true? Do not assume that this sample was obtained from a population in genetic equilibrium.
a)The frequency of the yellow allele is greater than that of the black allele.
b)The allele frequency of yellow is 3 times the allele frequency of black.
c)The allele frequency of yellow is twice the allele frequency of black.
d)The allele frequencies of black and yellow are equal.
e) The allele frequency of black is greater than the allele frequency of yellow.
2.Now assume that the population of butterflies sampled in question above is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Also assume that the sample is random and large enough that the allele frequencies in the sample equal the allele frequencies in the population. What is the frequency of the allele for a) yellow wings in the population? Assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in question 1, what would the correct answer be and why?
Answer:
- a)The frequency of the yellow allele is greater than that of the black allele.
- f(b) = q = 0.71

Answers:
D) According to the graph, obesity and diabetes are intertwined, which could be why obesity and diabetes are linked.
E) Diabetes had the greatest rise in prevalence in 1997 until 2000, with prevalence percentages between about 76% to 78%.
Explanation: Explanation for these answers are below:
D) Looking at the graph, obesity and diabetes had similar prevalences in 1997 and 1998, and started to part ways a little in 1999. In fact, even without the graph, scientists have known for a long time that people who have obesity also have diabetes. This graph supports that claim because of how closely linked diabetes and obesity are and how similar the prevalence percentages are.
E) Diabetes had the greatest rise in 1997 to 2000, which had a 78% prevalence by 2000. Obesity had very similar prevalence percentages from 75.5% to 77% in 1997 to 2000.
