Well my family has a genetic condition but i wouldnt want to know about my chances of catching it. I would rather remain blind to how long and enjoy how long my life lasts. I wouldnt want to know because then I would feel like I have a time limit. By not knowing I can enjoy every breath i take. Also by not knowing I wont have to worry my kids about me. Like last time I had a cold they called a doctor and scheduled an appointment just for a few sneezes and coughs. Also if I told my kids then they would feel like they have a time limit on their lives to. I am just going to live my life to the best. Plus if anything does happen to me I am only like two minutes away from a hospital.

  E) I=1-Q

I-interference

Q-coefficient of coincidence

Q=O2Xo/E2xo(2xo-double crossovers)

O2xo=6

P=(distance from C1 to Sh/100)*(distance from Sh to Wx/100)

=(3.38/100)*(18.28/100)=0.006

E2xo=0.006*6708=40.248

Q=6/40.248=0.15

I=1-0.15=0.85

Human mutations may increase resistance to some infectious diseases. Humans which carry the mutant gene, the "sickle cell allele
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

1 - Malaria

2- Typhoid fever and Tuberculosis

Explanation:

In case of malaria, the causal microorganism is Plasmodium falciparum, which target red blood cells of host. In humans who have defective sickle cell allele, have abnomral shaped red blood cells. So microorganism does not able to attach to abnormal shaped RBCs thus humans having sickle cell allele are more resistant to death caused by malaria.

In cystic fibrosis, mutation on that gene which encodes a protein known as cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR).

Normally Salmonella typhi (bacteria responsible for typhoid fever) enters into intestinal cells by attaching with CFTR receptor. Carriers of cystic fibrosis mutant gene, have abnormal CFTR thus reduced rate of entry of bacteria into carriers.

Normally Mycobacterium tuberculosis (bacteria responsible for tuberculosis) adds sulfate in its cell walls. In carriers of cystic fibrosis, arylsulfatase B activity is reduced which incorporates sulfate. Thus reduced arylsulfatase activity makes bacteria unable to add sulfate in its cell walls thus decreases their virulence to carriers of cystic fibrosis.
