In those parts of equatorial Africa where the malaria parasite is most common, the sickle-cell allele constitutes 20% of the β h

Answer:

32%

Explanation:

The proportion of the recessive sickle cell anemia allele in the given population is 20%. So, the frequency of the recessive allele in the population would be 20% or 0.2.

The population is said to be following the ideal equilibrium of alleles. Therefore, the frequency of the corresponding dominant allele for the locus would be= 1- frequency of the recessive allele = 1- 0.2 = 0.8

The frequency of the heterozygous individuals in the population= 2 x  proportion of the dominant allele in the population x frequency of the recessive allele = 2 x 0.8 x 0.2 = 0.32 or 32%
