Cystic fibrosis is a recessive genetic disorder caused by a mutation of the CTRF gene. The disease is characterized by excessive

mucus production along the respiratory and digestive tracts in addition to other symptoms. Cystic fibrosis is a progressive disorder that is most associated with chronic respiratory disease.
Sara and Anthony found out that they are both carriers of the disorder, but neither have the disease. What are the chances their child will be born with cystic fibrosis?
A.
0:4
B.
1:2
C.
4:4
D.
1:4

Answer:

Since both Anthony and Sara are healthy carriers of the gene that causes cystic fibrosis, the chance of having a child with this disease are 1:4 (option D).

Explanation:

The inheritance pattern of cystic fibrosis is autosomal recessive, and considering that both parents carry the abnormal CFTR gene, it can be said that the parental genotypes are:

<em>Anthony N/Qf </em>

<em>Sara N/Qf </em>

Where N is the normal gene and Qf is the abnormal gene.

Since this is an autosomal recessive disorder, only the homozygosity of the defective allele will cause the disease to manifest :

N/Qf X N/Qf

<em>Alleles     N       Qf </em>

<em>N            N/N    N/Qf </em>

<em>Qf           N/Qf  Qf/Qf </em>

  • The chances of having a healthy child are 25%.
  • The chances of having a carrier child are 50%.
  • The chances of having a child with cystic fibrosis are 25%.

Therefore, the chance of Anthony and Sara having a child with cystic fibrosis is 1:4.

Correct answer: C) Create revenue for the United States government through the sale of wild horses to conservationists


There are various goals of forest service in reference to wild horses but its main goal is to prevent inbreeding of horses in order to avoid genetic abnormalities. Because of inbreeding genetic disorder might occur that may be transfered to the other horses in the future generations. Genetic anomalies may lead to change in genetic makeup, which can have a harmful impact on the whole species.

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

In Labrador dogs, black coat is dominant to chocolate, normal vision is dominant to progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), and normal hip joint is dominant to hip dysplasia. All these genes assort independently. Two dogs that are heterozygous for alleles of all three genes are crossed. Using rules of probability (not a Punnett square), what is the chance that the first pup born to these dogs will be chocolate, have normal vision, and have normal hip joints?

BbVvHh x BbVvHh= BBVVHH, BbVvHh, BbVvHh, bbvvhh

Bb= black coat dominant

Vv= Normal vision dominant

Hh= Normal hip join dominant

probability of having a first born of these dogs will be chocolate, have normal vision and have normal hip joint is 0

Explanation:

As the punette square gives 3:1 phenotype having three black coat, normal vision and normal hip joint and one chocolate, progressive retina altropy and hip dysplasia

Because of symptoms and age, we would consider some diagnosis of bronchitis due to RSV infection, pneumonia because of Haemophilus influenza infections, and pertussis infection including apnea. Here I can say the answer is pneumonia due to infection of Haemophilus influenza.
The kind of treatment we can give depending on my diagnosis are; high dosage of oral erythromycin to clear the infection bacteria, supportive therapies in hospital in order to maintain blood oxygen levels and in open airways, low dosage of erythromycin which is given intravenously to clear the infection of bacteria which I can say it is the best treatment.
Some of the treatment for the infant to diminish such infection chances are MMR vaccines, toxin antiserum DTaP vaccine, influenza shot which I can recommend for the infant.
The best reason I can say about these conditions and symptoms are associated with pneumonia whereby we can say the low dose of erythromycin which is given intravenously is effective. The best prophylactic treatment is influenza shots.
