Certain collagen protein foundin the bone.

Reference no: EM13529307

In humans the COL locus codes for a certain collagen protein foundin the bone. The normal allele is at this locus is denoted asS. An allele s is associated withreduced bone mineral density and increased risk of fracture in bothSs and ss women . A recent studyof 2500 women showed that 825 were SS, 1350 were Ss, and 325 weress. what are the estimated frequencies for S and s alleles inthe population sampled?
