Textbook Question
Textbook QuestionSickle cell disease (SCD) is found in numerous populations whose ancestral homes are in the malaria belt of Africa and Asia. SCD is an autosomal recessive disorder that results from homozygosity for a mutant β-globin gene allele. Data on one affected population indicates that approximately 8 in 100 newborn infants have SCD. What are the frequencies of the wild-type (βᴬ) and mutant (βˢ) alleles in this population?
