Title: 14 out of 2400 babies that were born at a maternity hospital died shortly after birth from colonic o Post by: ILoveBIO30 on Aug 5, 2015 14 out of 2400 babies that were born at a maternity hospital died shortly after birth from colonic obstruction due to a recessive allele. Determine the frequency of the lethal allele in the population, expressed as a percent.
(Round your answer to two significant figures) Answer: ________ Units:________ 4 out of 2400 babies that were born at a maternity hospital died shortly after birth from colonic obstruction due to a recessive allele. What percent of the population would you expect to be carriers of the lethal allele? (Round your answer to two significant figures) Answer:_________ Units:__________ * Help would be greatly appreciated :) Title: Re: 14 out of 2400 babies that were born at a maternity hospital died shortly after birth from colon Post by: bio_man on Aug 7, 2015 Use this as a sample to answer your question.

Similar Question 14 out of 2400 babies that were born at a maternity hospital died shortly after birth from colonic obstruction due to a recessive allele. Determine the frequency of the lethal allele in the population, expressed as a percent. (Round your answer to two significant figures) Answer: ________ Units:________ p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1 and p + q = 1 p = frequency of the dominant allele in the population q = frequency of the recessive allele in the population p^2 = percentage of homozygous dominant individuals q^2 = percentage of homozygous recessive individuals 2pq = percentage of heterozygous individuals We are given 6/2400 as the percentage of homozygous recessive individuals: q^2 = 6/2400 = 0.0025 Using algebra, we can find q, the frequency of the recessive allele, which is lethal if homozygous. q = sqrt(0.0025) = 0.05 = 5% So 5 percent of the population is a heterozygous carrier of the lethal allele.

Cause they give us numbers 14 and 2400.... and how would you go about this question? 2. 4 out of 2400 babies that were born at a maternity hospital died shortly after birth from colonic obstruction due to a recessive allele. What percent of the population would you expect to be carriers of the lethal allele?

It was assumed to be 6 out 2400. Sorry... Title: Re: 14 out of 2400 babies that were born at a maternity hospital died shortly after birth from colon Post by: ILoveBIO30 on Oct 2, 2015 Thats alright!
Do you know how to solve the second question? 4 out of 2400 babies....
