What would happen to the frequency of heterozygous carriers of sickle-cell anemia (with AS genotype) if mosquitoes were completely wiped out in a large region?

Given that II2 has cystic fibrosis, what is the chance that III8 will be a carrier of the CF allele? Please explain. Please note that II7 is FF.

What is the heterozygous advantage of people having sickle-cell trait in areas where malaria is a major cause of death?

Define and refine the following concept groups in your own words as they relate to GWAS: Allele, polymorphism, and haplotype Mendelian and non-Mendelian disease

Discuss the consequences of allelic heterogeneity,compound heterozygosity, and locus heterogeneity

2. 235O 4) Q7. Haemophiliacs possess a non-functional form of the gene responsible for the production of blood clotting factors. Shown below is the occurrence of haemophilia in one family. = male = female = male haemophiliac 7. 8. 5. 9. 3. 11 12 Usingthe following symbols: H = dominant allele h = recessive allele 1) State the genotypes of the following individuals. Individual Genotype 1. 6. 2) On the basis of the information provided, is the inheritance of haemophilia: (i) autosomal or sex-linked? (ii) dominant or recessive? 3) State the probability of individual 8 being a carrier of haemophilia. 4) Explain why only females can be carriers of haemophilia.

In 1-6 sentences explain what a concordance value of 65% in MZ twins and 18% in DZ twins for a disease.  What do these numbers indicate and what can we conclude about the relationship between genetics and the environment? Be sure to discuss both MZ and DZ twins

In humans, people with at least one dominant RhD allele have a Rh positive blood type. People with a homozygous recessive genotype have a Rh negative blood type. In the United States, 85% of the population is Rh positive and 15% are Rh negative. What are the values of p and q for the population in the United States (assuming that the American population is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium)?
