In humans, Rh-positive individuals have the Rh antigen on their red blood cells, while Rh-negative individuals do not. If the Rh

-positive phenotype is produced by a dominant gene (A), and the Rh-negative phenotype is due to its recessive allele (a), what is the frequency of the Rh-positive allele if 84% of a population is Rh-positive?A. 0.04.B. 0.16.C. 0.48.D. 0.60.E. 0.84.

Answer:

D. 0.60

Explanation:

If the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the genotypic frequencies are:

  • freq AA = p²
  • freq Aa = 2pq
  • freq aa = q²

<em>p</em> is the frequency of the Rh positive allele (A) and <em>q</em> is the frequency of the Rh-negative allele (a).

If 84% of the population is Rh-positive, then 16% is Rh-negative and has the genotype <em>aa</em>. Therefore:

q² = 0.16

q = √0.16

q=0.4

And because p+q=1,

p = 1 - 0.4

p = 0.6

The frequency of the Rh-positive allele is 0.6

The girl is suffering from osteopenia.

The osteopenia is a condition, in which the bone mass of the person is significantly reduced. High amount of training and less intake of fats may cause a decrease in the hormone estrogen in young girls. this decrease in the hormone may lead to the irregular periods as well as decrease in bone mass, which eventually causes osteopenia. the osteopenia is a precursor of the osteoporosis, the osteopenia later, if untreated causes a further decrease in bone mass and porous bone (osteoporosis).
