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

What is bacteria flagellum? What is made of and its function? What type of organization can flagella have on cells?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Bacterial flagella is the external structure that is thin, long and filamentous. It is attached to the cell wall of the bacteria which helps in the locomotion of the bacteria. It has three parts a filament, hook and basal body. The basal body is incorporated in the cell membrane.

A flagellum is made up of a protein called flagellin. It is a rigid protein and helps in making the hollow core of the filament by assembling together to form a structure which is cylindrical in shape.

The organization of flagella on bacterial cells is helpful in the identification of bacterial species. Mostly 4 type of organization of flagella is present on bacterial cell that are monotrichous, amphitrichous, lophoyrichous and perithrichous.

In monotrichious bacteria, only one flagella is present on one side, in amphitrichous both side of the cell have an equal amount of flagella. Lophotrichous bacteria have a group of flagella at one side of the cell and amphitrichous bacteria have many flagella distributed equally on its cell.

Can a physician proceed with diagnosis based on molecular biology data
Fofino [41]

well I mean I don't know a lot but, Yes, a physician can proceed with diagnosis of a disease based on molecular biology data. It would have been easier to explain if you had shared the data with us. Molecular Biology techniques like polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is widely used for diagnostic purposes.
