What is the correct term for splitting an atom to release nuclear energy? splitting the nucleus of an atom to release energy is referred to as nuclear .

The spilling of a nucleus is called nuclear fission.

The answer is Nuclear Fission

Explanation:

Fission is a nuclear reaction that occurs when a heavy nucleus is divided into two or more smaller nuclei, in addition to some by-products such as free neutrons, photons and other fragments of the nucleus such as alpha and beta particles in addition to a large amount of energy. Heavy-core fission is an exothermic process that releases substantial amounts of energy, generating much more energy than that released in conventional chemical reactions.

we solve the problem using the hardy-wineberg equation.

let us start with the homozygous recessive proportion of individuals with sickle cell anaemia,

we have the proportion as q² = 0.25.

∴ q = 0.5 (frequency of hbs in population)

further,

solving for the frequency of normal cell by using the fact that,

p + q = 1

∴ p = 1 - 0.5 = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

now we can calculate 2pq in p² + 2pq + q², which is the frequency for heterozygous carriers of sickle cell anaemia,

∴ 2pq = 2 x 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.5

and the homozygous normal cell individuals proportion is given by the expression,

∴ p² = 0.5² = 0.25

hence, the carriers for sickle cell anaemia are in proportion, 0.5, or 50%.
