A small proportion of humans have resistance to strains of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Their immunity is caused by a deletion in gene CCR5, a co-receptor on white blood cells needed for HIV infection. The proportion of people with resistance (genotype aa) to HIV is approximately 8%. If these alleles are in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium, what proportion of people are carriers for the HIV resistant allele?

The diagram shows the results when two parents are crossed. the letters represent alleles for a trait that is controlled by three different genes. which best describes this inheritance pattern? multiple allele because a trait is controlled by three different genes polygenic because the offspring have alleles from both parents multiple allele because the offspring have alleles from both parents polygenic because a trait is controlled by three different genes
