The hardy-weinberg equation is useful for predicting the percent of a human population that may be heterozygous carriers of recessive alleles for certain genetic diseases. phenylketonuria (pku) is a human metabolic disorder that results in intellectual disabilities if it is untreated in infancy. if the u.s. population is in hardy-weinberg equilibrium, approximately what percent of the population are heterozygous carriers of the recessive pku allele?

1.98% or 2%
Explanation:
In US, 1 out of 10000 people has the disease. So, the frequency of the recessive alleles is 1/10000 = 0.0001
This term is q^2, so now we need to find the q term alone. q= = 0.01
Now, as p+q=1 in HW equations, then p=1-q, in this case p=1-0.01=0.99
So, the next part is determine what percentage is the heterozygous carriers and the heterozigous are in the equation named as 2pq
2pq=> 2(0.01)*(0.99)=0.0198 If we convert it to percentage is 0.0198 * 100= 1.98% aproximate to 2%
