Sicle cell disease (SCD) is found in numerous populations whose ancestral homes are in the malaria belt of Africa and Asia. SCD

is an autosomal recessive disorder that results from homozygosity for a mutant β-globin gene allele. Data on one affected population indicates that approximately 8 in 100 newborn infants have SCD.Epidemiologic data on this population reveal that before the application of modern medical treatment, natural selection played a major role in shaping the frequencies of alleles. Heterozygous individuals have the highest relative fitness, and in comparison to heterozygotes, those who are βAβA have a relative fitness of 89 percent, but only about 43 percent of those with SCD survived to reproduce. What is the frequency of the wild-type (beta A) allele in this population? Express your answer using two decimal places. What is the frequency of the mutant (beta 8) allele in this population? Express your answer using two decimal places. What is the frequency of carriers of SCD in the population? Express your answer using two decimal places.

Ksju [112]

Answer:

I think the answer is A.

Explanation:

Ponds and lakes are both inland bodies of freshwater that contain living creatures. Lakes are normally much deeper than ponds and have a larger surface area. ... All the water in a pond is in the photic zone, meaning ponds are shallow enough to allow sunlight to reach the bottom.

  The yearly process known as thermal stratification. A pond that is thermally stratified simply means that there is a noticeable temperature gradient as the water gets deeper. You may have noticed this in summer while swimming.
