- Please if you don’t know the answer just leave it , I don’t need from google or different websites.arrow_forwardConsider the disease phenylketonuria (PKU), which is an autosomal recessive defect in the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase. The absence of the enzyme prevents phenylalanine from being metabolized causing unusually high levels of phenylalanine in the body leading to severe mental retardation. The selection coefficient for the recessive homozygous individuals is 0.7 and the frequency of the recessive allele in the population is 1.0 x 10-2. If PKU is maintained by mutation-selection balance what is the predicted mutation rate? The actual mutation rate is 1 X 10-4. What other mechanism might be affecting the allele frequency?arrow_forwardIn our class of 130 students, 64 (49%) are unable to taste PTC.
