A scientist wants to study how the body uses foods and fluids during a marathon run. This scientist is most likely

not my dad that's for sure

you know that this symptom is misleading and quite often is related to: heart attack

a heart attack is a condition that occurs when the blood flow that transports oxygen to the heart muscle is damaged or cut off completely. the coronary arteries that supply the heart muscle with blood flow can be blocked by the accumulation of plaque. also, when the plaque within the heart artery breaks, it creates blood clot that can also hinder the blood flow. men that are over 45years of age and women that are over 55years of age are at risk of having a heart attack. the symptoms of a heart attack include chest discomfort, chest pain, coughing, and shortness of breath.

we solve the problem using the hardy-wineberg equation.

let us start with the homozygous recessive proportion of individuals with sickle cell anaemia,

we have the proportion as q² = 0.25.

∴ q = 0.5 (frequency of hbs in population)

further,

solving for the frequency of normal cell by using the fact that,

p + q = 1

∴ p = 1 - 0.5 = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

now we can calculate 2pq in p² + 2pq + q², which is the frequency for heterozygous carriers of sickle cell anaemia,

∴ 2pq = 2 x 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.5

and the homozygous normal cell individuals proportion is given by the expression,

∴ p² = 0.5² = 0.25

hence, the carriers for sickle cell anaemia are in proportion, 0.5, or 50%.
