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

after light excites electrons and they leave Photosystem II to travel down the first electron transport chain. How are these ele
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

Through the photolysis of water molecules

Explanation:

<em>When the electrons in photosystem II gets excited, released and travel down to the electron transport chain, the electrons are replaced by the electron released by the cleavage/photolysis of water.</em>

<em>Water molecule is cleaved resulting in the formation of hydrogen ion, oxygen gas and electrons. The electrons then replace those lost by photosystem II.</em>

How did Hershey and Chase ""label"" viral DNA and viral protein so that they could be distinguished? Explain why they chose each
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

As DNA contain phosphorus in its structure in large amount, therefore, Harshey and Chase labeled DNA with radioactive phosphorus and because protein contains some amino acids which have sulfur so they labeled T2 bacteriophage protein with sulfur.

So after that they infected E.coli bacteria with radioactively labeled phages and after centrifugation, they have found that pellet which contains cells is showing the presence of radioactive phosphorus and supernatant which have T2 phage capsid protein showing the presence of radioactive sulfur.

Therefore by labeling viral protein and viral DNA they found that DNA is the genetic material not protein.
