Answer:

The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

If one is sitting for a prolonged time and experiences pain in the buttocks, it could be an issue associated with tuberosity in the pelvis, that is, ischial tuberosity. It is also considered as the seat bones or the sit bones  

The pain one experiences while sitting for a long time may be due to inflammation or irritation of the ischial bursa, that is, a fluid-occupied sac situated between the ischial tuberosity and the tendons, which associates the hamstring muscles with the bones.  

The given case, in which redness occurs signifies stage 1 at the ischial tuberosity, that is, the first stage of pressure ulcer taking place in the ischial tuberosity. The ischial tuberosity is situated in the base of buttocks.

Albinism is inherited as autosomal recessive trait. The frequency of the disease in the population equals to 1:20 000. Calculate
prisoha [69]

Answer:

0.0139- frequency of heterozygotes in the population

Explanation:

Let q to the power of 2 represents the frequency of the homozygous recessive (aa) = 1/20000 = 0.00005

This, q = √q^2 = √0.00005 = 0.007

Since p + q = 1

p = 1 - 0.007 = 0.993

Using the formula: p^2 + 2pq + q^2

Where 2pq represents the frequency of the heterozygotes, thing we have

2 x 0.007 x 0.993

= 0.0139
