Cystic Fibrosis is a homzygous recessive disease that affects 1 in 3400 people. What percent of the population are carriers?
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is = 0.02 or 2.5 percent approx.

Explanation:

Given:

CF is a recessive disease that affects 1 in 3400 people

The frequency of the recessive allele in the population (q2) -

= 1/3400

= 0.0002. Therefore, q is the square root, or 0.014.

The frequency of the dominant allele in the population (p)

= 1 - 0.014 = 0.986 (or 98.6%).

The percentage of s carriers in the population.

2pq equals the frequency of heterozygotes or carriers, then the equation will be as follows:

2pq = (2)(.986)(.014) = 0.02 or 2.5 percent approx.

ozzi

Adaptations help the survival of a species as "It increases the biodiversity of the species".

<u>Answer:</u> Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The phenomenon that support the organisms to find similar and favourable environment to acquire food, build home, satisfy with weather, feel safe and attract mates to produce more offspring in order to improve evolutionary fitness is called as an "Adaptation".

The three main forms of adaptations are behavioural, structural, and physiological adaptations that are based on the way how genetic variation get communicated. Many species have all those types of combinations. For an instance, behavioural adaptations are bird's calling and migration.

zvonat [6]

Answer:

C. many mosquitoes today are descendants of mosquitoes with insecticide-resistant characteristics

Explanation:

When insecticides were first sold, they where highly effective in killing mosquitoes but few mosquitoes will definitely survived. If these mosquitoes that survived mate together, they  will produce hybrid offspring that possess characteristics that are  insecticide-resistant. The more  insecticide-resistant mosquitoes that breed together in subsequent generations, the more permanent mutant hybrid offspring will be produced which will eventually make them to become resistant to the use of insecticides over them.
