Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder in homozygous recessives that causes death during the teenage years. If 9 in 10,000 newbor

n babies have the disease,
what are the expected frequencies of the dominant (A1) and recessive (A2) alleles according to the Hardy-Weinberg equation?
(a) f(A1) = 0.9997, f(A2) = 0.0003(b) f(A1) = 0.9800, f(A2) = 0.0200(c) f(A1) = 0.9700, f(A2) = 0.0300(d) f(A1) = 0.9604, f(A2) = 0.0392

Answer:

f(A1) = 0.9700, f(A2) = 0.0300

Explanation:

The frequency of homozygous recessive genotype of children is  

\frac{9}{10000} \\= 0.0009

As per Hardy weinberg's equation, frequency of homozygous recessive genotype is represented by  

q^2

Here q^2 = 0.0009

Thus, frequency of recessive allele would be  

\sqrt{q^2}\\ = \sqrt{0.0009}\\ = 0.03

as per first law of Hardy weinberg

p+q = 1\\p = 1- 0.03\\p = 0.97

Hence, option C is correct

The hormone , which is secreted by the pineal gland, influences the sleep–wakefulness cycles.
KonstantinChe [14]
The hormone described above is the hormone Melatonin.
Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland in the brain, which helps regulate other hormones and maintains the body's circadian rhythm. This rhythm is an internal 24 hour clock that plays a critical role when we fall asleep and when awake. When it is dark the body releases more melatonin.

Caffeine aids in the movement of calcium ions across cell membranes by both making it easier for the Ca2+ channels to open and b
Llana [10]

Caffeine cause dose dependent prominent increase in force of contraction and period of contraction of muscle

<u>Explanation:</u>

Caffeine is widely used in foods and drinks. Its long time use can effect central nervous system include lethargy memory, sleep disorder and anxiety.

Increase in concentration of calcium ion will result increase number of power stroke and force for contraction.  However latent period and relaxation period are unaffected by caffeine. Increase in concentration of calcium ion will result increase number of power stroke and force for contraction.

Because of calcium ion release in skeletal muscle, caffeine causes peripheral manifestation such as hyper-reflexia, muscle twitching etc.

High amount of caffeine leads to increase in release of Ca2+ from sarcoplasmic reticulum. It increases tension development in single tetanic contraction and re-initiate maximum tension in fatigue single myofibre by restoring Ca2+ release from sarcoplasmic reticulum to non-fatigued levels.
