300 carries the allele for this disease. However, in some populations, including the Irish Americans, the Ashkenazi Jews and the Cajuns from Louisiana, the proportion of Tay-Sachs carriers is much higher (1 in 27 to 1 in 50) than in other populations. Which evolutionary scenario can be predicted to produce a high frequency of Tay- Sachs disease in these populations? O All three populations descend from a small number of settlers These populations experienced stabilizing selection O These populations have higher than average mutation rates These populations experienced disruptive selection The Tay-Sachs allele is advantageous at the heterozygous state

Hematology

Hematology is the branch of biology. Hematology is the medical field that deals with the treatment of blood disorders and cancers, such as hemophilia, leukemia, lymphoma, and sickle-cell anemia. Hematologists and hematopathologists are medical professionals who specialize in illnesses of the blood and its components.
