I looked it up and got energy not sure though
<span>One important area of DNA research is that of genetics and medical research. Due to our discovery of DNA, our ability to actually diagnose diseases early on has been vastly improved. In addition, we have been able to better assess a person's genetic susceptibility to specific diseases. In doing so, we have also paved the pathway to formulate brand new drugs to treat these diseases. In fact, drugs can essentially be custom made to complement a person's personal biochemistry and genetic makeup. For those diseases that were previously considered lethal and where treatment was either non-existent or largely unsuccessful, the discovery of DNA has essentially led to breakthrough drugs and treatments for patients with serious illnesses.</span>

Answer:
The correct answer is - 1/41,493
Explanation:
Let assume the frequency of the two possible same allele genotype (dominant and recessive) in an inbred population is p and q. Then the frequency of heterozygotes (H) is denoted as:
2pq + 2pqF. ( where F is the inbreeding coefficient).
The frequency of the two different hoozygotes in inbred population can be calculated as:
p2 + pqF and q2 + pqF. (Where p and q are the allele frequency of the dominant and recessive phenotype.
Given: Frequency of Alkaptonuria (q 2) = 1:500, 000
=> q = 1/707
p = 706/707 ( Approx values)
solution:
Inbreeding coefficient (F) = 1/64
Therefore,
Frequency of Alkaptonuria in second cousins= q 2 + pqF
= 1/500, 000 + (706/707 x 1/707) x (1/64)
= 1/500, 000 + 1/45, 248
= 1/41,493 (approx)
