If 9% of an African population is born with a severe form of sickle-cell anemia (ss), what percentage of the population will be more resistant to malaria because they are heterozygous(Ss) for the sickle-cell gene? 2. This is a classic data set on wing coloration in the scarlet tiger moth (Panaxia dominula). Coloration in this species had been previously shown to behave as a single-locus, two-allele system with incomplete dominance.

Using the HardyWeinberg Law in Human Genetics In a given population, the frequencies of the four phenotypic classes of the ABO blood groups are found to be A = 0.33, B = 0.33, AB = 0.18, and i = 0.16. What is the frequency of the i allele?

Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion The allele for normal haemoglobin in red blood cells is HbA. In some parts of Africa where malaria occurs there is a high frequency in the population of the allele HbC. Individuals possessing the HbC allele have a lower chance of developing severe malaria. Severe malaria causes a large number of deaths in Africa. Explain the high frequency of the HbC allele in areas where malaria occurs. -3m
An allele of the G6PD gene acts in a recessive manner to cause sensitivity to fava beans, resulting in ahemolytic reaction (lysis of red blood cells) afteringestion of the beans. The same allele also confersdominant resistance to malaria. The heterozygote hasan advantage in a region where malaria is prevalent.Will the equilibrium frequency (qe) be the same foran African and a North American country? Whatfactors affect qe?
