Tay-Sachs disease, an inherited recessive disorder (allele = r), causes degeneration of the nervous system and results in death between 2 and 4 years of age. The rate of occurrence is 1 out of every 100,000 births. How many carriers would be expected to exist if a population of 3 million people was at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
