What would happen to the frequency of heterozygous carriers of sickle-cell anemia (with AS genotype) if mosquitoes were completely wiped out in a large region?
Why does sickle-cell anaemia persist in the human population when it is believed that the harmful alleles get eliminated from the population after a certain time?
In a hypothetical population, 16% have sickle-cell anemia.  The population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.  ( sickle-cell anemia is recessive) What is the frequency of the allele for sickle-cell anemia? What is the frequency of the allele for normal hemoglobin?
