Tay-Sachs disease is cause by a recessive allele. To have Tay-Sachs you must be homozygous recessive. To be a carrier of Tay Sachs you must be heterozygous. The frequency of the recessive allele is .1 in a population of 3600. What is the frequency of the dominant allele? 0.50 0.90 0.99 0.75

Tay-Sachs disease is caused by a recessive allele. About 1 in 3,600 live births is affected with Tay-Sachs disease. What is the allelic frequency of each allele? In a population of 1,000 people, about how many will be heterozygous carriers of the Tay-Sachs allele?

You are studying Tay-Sachs disease, which is a recessive trait in humans. In a population of 200 people, 75 are homozygous dominant, 100 are heterozygous, and 25 are homozygous recessive. What is the frequency of the dominant allele? What is the frequency of the recessive allele? What is the frequency of the heterozygous genotype? Individuals with Tay-Sachs disease do not reach reproductive age. After eliminating the people with the recessive phenotype, what will the frequency of the recessive allele be in the remaining population?
