Sickle cell disease (SCD) is found in numerous populations whose ancestral homes are in the malaria belt of Africa and Asia. SCD is an autosomal recessive disorder that results from homozygosity for a mutant β-globin gene allele. Data on one affected population indicates that approximately 16 in 100 newborn infants have SCD.

What is the frequency of the wild-type (βA ) allele in this population?
What is the frequency of the mutant (βS ) allele in this population?
What is the frequency of carriers of SCD in the population?
