In the Congo, 4% of newborns have sickle-cell disease, a recessive trait. In a population of 1000 individuals, how many would you expect to be homozygous dominant, heterozygous, and homozygous recessive (SS, Ss, ss)?

Homozygous dominant would be 480.

Heterozygous would be 480.

Homozygous recessive would be 40.

Explanation:

In order to find how many would have the disease (homozygous recessive) you would have to multiply the population by the percentage affected (4% or .04). Then subtract 40 from 1000 and get 960. Then you divide that by 2 and get 480.

answer : haversian
