In different parts of Africa the frequency
of Sickle Cell Anemia in the population
is one of the following:
Area 1
.0025
0.25 %
Area 2
.01
1 %
Area 3
.04
4 %
Using the Hardy
Weinberg Formula,
determine what percentage (%) of the
population in each of the areas above are CARRIERS for the trait, and therefore RESISTANT TO MALARIA!
