The Hardy-Weinberg Equation 2. Sickle-cell disease (SCD) is a blood disorder. It causes an abnormality in the blood's cells shape-the cell assumes the shape of a crescent. This also inhibits the cell's ability to carry oxygen, leading to painful symptoms and even death. The person inherits the alleles for SCD from their parent. A person who is heterozygous for the sickle cell allele (Ss) often shows no symptoms of the disease and is considered a carrier. A person who is homozygous recessive for the sickle-cell allele (ss) will exhibit signs and symptoms of sickle-cell anemia. If 9% of the population exhibits signs and symptoms of the disease, what percent of the population is a carrier (heterozygous individuals)? Frequency of the dominant allele Frequency of the recessive allele % homozygous dominant % homozygous recessive % heterozygous 3. A large population of moths contains 35% white moths caused by the double recessive genotype, bb. What are all the allelic and genotypic frequencies for this population? Frequency of the dominant allele Frequency of the recessive allele % homozygous dominant % homozygous recessive % heterozygous
