Suppose a population is carrying a condition controlled by two alleles: a (dominant) and a (recessive). only homozygous individuals that have two copies of the recessive allele have the condition. if the a allele has a frequency of 20%, and the a allele had a frequency of 80%, what percentage of the population will have the condition?

a. 20%
b. 4%
c. 80%
d. 64%

Answer from: victory08

Let a be Q, all which is homozygous recessive = Q∧2

A = p, AA which is homozygous recessive = Q∧2

2pq = heterozygous

It is derived from p+ q = 1

All those in a population which is Q = 20%

All A in the population (p) = 80%

Now that the disease is homozygous recessive therefore,

aa = qq or q × q = 0.20 × 2 = 4%

Then the answer is 4%.

Answer from: anaroles04

The correct answer is - B. 4% Explanation: As per the given information in the question, the genetic condition is homozygous recessive (aa). The frequency of dominant (A) and recessive allele (a) are given, which are 20% (that is 0.20) and 80% (0.80) respectively. According to Hardy-Weinberg Principle - p+q=1 , p{2} +2pq+q^{2} =1 Where, p and q denotes frequency of dominant and recessive alleles respectively. p2 = frequency of homozygous dominant genotype (AA) q2= frequency of homozygous recessive gentotype (aa) 2pq= frequency of heterozygous genotypes (Aa). We have given value of - p= 0.80 and q= 0.20 To calculate the frequency of homozygous recessive condition (aa) that is represented by q2- q2 = 0.20 × 0.20 = 0.0400 In percentage - [0.0400/10000] ×100 = 4% Thus, option B) is the right answer.

relationships aren't everything. people everyday spend there entire life depending on reltionships and for someone to be there for them when this is absurd. why must people depend on someone else to bring them happiness? i'm not saying it wrong to feel happy with someone, but people feel that they need to be in a relationship in order to feel happy, when, this is not true. you can paint, write, read ir slend tume with family ir even spend time working in yourself. this can be an exciting experience to find yourself. it's bot wrong to be in a relationship but if you let it be your only source of happiness, than you will never find true happiness.

so, relationships are not always worth it. if you are so dependent on them, than in the end they arent worth it because you will realize how unhappy you really were. some people even tend to cut ties with family because they think they cabt make them happy, obly realtionships with a lover can. false. in order to find true happiness, one must learn to love themselves if they want to love someone else. it's unhealthy to be always depend on relationships and to alqays be in and out of one.

so live life, get that job you always wanted, buy those new shoes and love yourself. depend on yourself, not others. they arent worth it, you can make yourself more happier than most people can do to you. it's not woth it. take your time and have fun.
