Phenylketonuria is a recessive autosomal genetic disorder that can cause mental retardation. Phenylketonuria is particularly common in Turkey, where 1 in 2600 children are born with the disease. As of 2011, the population of Turkey was 73.6 million. Based on this data, and assuming that the Turkish population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. (a) Estimate the number of carriers of phenylketonuria in Turkey (b) Estimate the proportion of unaffected individuals who are carriers.
