In Sweden 1/500 are born with an autosomal recessive disorder called thalassemia. What is the carrier frequency within the population?
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by two copies of a mutated CFTR gene. If one in 100 (hypothetical scenario, not reality) people in the United States have cystic fibrosis, calculate the p and q frequency for the normal allele (p) and the mutated allele (q). Based on those calculations, what percentage of individuals would be expected to be homozygous dominant?
If the frequency of a homozygous recessive disorder is 1 in 10,000, the frequency of the dominant allele is ________ % and the heterozygous genotype frequency is ________ %.
Consider the following pedigree below for a rare autosomal trait. Be sure to take into account the inbreeding convention, when needed.
