Sickle-cell anemia is caused by a mutation in the b-globin gene.Heterozygotes for the Hbs disease allele have someprotection from malaria relative to wild-type, but Hbshomozygotes rarely live to produce offspring. 50 individualshomozygous for the normal (non-disease) allele produced a total of47 children. 50 heterozygous individuals produced a total of 55children. 50 Hbs homozygous individuals produced a totalof 0 children. What is the average fitness per individualof the heterozygotes? What is the relative fitness of thehomozygous normal individuals?
