In a large, randomly mating, population, the frequency of the allele for sickle-cell hemoglobin (s) is 0.028. The results of studies have shown that people with the following genotypes produce the average number of offspring given:
Genotype: Average Number of Offspring Produced:
SS 5
Ss 6
ss 0

b. What will be the frequency of the sickle-cell allele at equilibrium?
