In humans, sickle cell anemia is an autosomal recessive disorder. There are two alleles at this locus, the normal allele, "A" and the recessive allele, "a", which is associated with sickle cell anemia. A recent study of 3,560 people showed that 2,357 were homozygous dominant at this locus; 1,052 were carriers of the disorder and 151 were affected. What is the expected frequency of the homozygous dominant individuals, if the population is in Hardy.Weinberg equilibrium? (Round your answer to the nearest hundredth, for example: 0.167 0.17, but use the unrounded number to continue with the chi square question).

Transcribed Image Text:In humans, sickle cell anemia is an autosomal recessive disorder. There are two alleles at this locus, the normal allele, "A" and the recessive
allele, "a", which is associated with sickle cell anemia. A recent study of 3,560 people showed that 2,357 were homozygous dominant at this
locus; 1,052 were carriers of the disorder and 51 were affected.
What is the expected frequency of the homozygous dominant individuals, if the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? (Round
your answer to the nearest hundredth, for example: 0.167 = 0.17, but use the unrounded number to continue with the chi square question).
