Dr. Pradeep Patra, Dr. Virander Chauhan, and their colleagues assessed children in 2,087 villages in the Indian state of Chhattisgarh for their sickle cell anemia genotype. Sickle cell anemia is coded for by the t allele. Individuals who are tt have the more severe illness phenotype of sickle cell disease while Tt individuals have a moderate illness phenotype called sickle cell trait. Individuals who are TT do not have sickle cell anemia. Of the 359,823 children assessed, 33,467 were Tt and only 747 were tt. The remaining 325,609 children were TT. We will use these data to answer the following 6 questions. Calculate the total number of alleles for this gene assessed in the sample of children. DO NOT ROUND.
