Between 2000 and 2013, fatalities from measles decreased by approximately 75%.

<h3>What do you mean by Measles?</h3>

Measles may be defined as an acute and highly contagious viral disease that is commonly caused by a single-stranded RNA virus known as measles virus.

Fatalities caused by measles in 2000 = 582,800

Fatalities caused by measles in 2013 = 145,700

Total differnce = 437100.

Now, the percentage = 437100/582800 ×100 = 75%.

Therefore, between 2000 and 2013, fatalities from measles decreased by approximately 75%.

Cystic fibrosis is most common in individuals of Northern European descent, affecting 1 in 3200 newborns. Assuming that these al
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

0.0177

Explanation:

Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease, thereby an individual must have both copies of the CFTR mutant alleles to have this disease. The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium states that p² + 2pq + q² = 1, where p² represents the frequency of the homo-zygous dominant genotype (normal phenotype), q² represents the frequency of the homo-zygous recessive genotype (cystic fibrosis phenotype), and 2pq represents the frequency of the heterozygous genotype (individuals that carry one copy of the CFTR mutant allele). Moreover, under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the sum of the dominant 'p' allele frequency and the recessive 'q' allele frequency is equal to 1. In this case, we can observe that the frequency of the homo-zygous recessive condition for cystic fibrosis (q²) is 1/3200. In consequence, the frequency of the recessive allele for cystic fibrosis can be calculated as follows:

1/3200 = q² (have two CFTR mutant alleles) >>  

q = √ (1/3200) = 1/56.57 >>

- Frequency of the CFTR allele q = 1/56.57 = 0.0177  

- Frequency of the dominant 'normal' allele p = 1 - q = 1 - 0.0177 = 0.9823

A genotype is controlled by the sex cells combining to form an organism. True or False
myrzilka [38]

True

A genotype is the combination of genes in its DNA of the organism that determines its traits

Explanation:

Gametes from parents contribute different alleles of genes to their offspring. This why gametes carry only one copy of genetic material of the organism. They later fuse to form a zygote with a full genetic copy and capable of developing into an full organism.

Depending on which kind of alleles the parents pass down to the offspring will determine the offspring's genotype. The genotype of the offspring will, on the other hand, affect its phenotype which is the outward characteristic. An example is the sickle cell trait. If both gametes from the parents contribute the recessive alleles of the gene, then the offspring will be homozygous recessive for sickle cell genotype and this will show in the phenotype pf the person who will have sickle cell shaped blood cells.
