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

Match the description to the type of energy.
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

1)diaphragm vibrations- sound waves

2) Changing magnetic fields- Electrical energy

3)sound waves- Mechanical energy

Explanation:

A changing magnetic field induces an electromotive force and then an electric field which contains electrical energy

Sound energy is a form of energy that can be heard by humans. Sound is an example of a mechanical wave because it consists of physically oscillatory elastic compression.

A diaphragm is a thin surfaced cone used to produce sound. It is caused to vibrate using electromagnetic energy.

Seedless bananas were probably first caused by a blank
lana [24]
In animals and plants, there are two pairs of chromosomes - one set from a male and the other set from a female. But occasionally, the original fertilized cell doesn't quite divide correctly and more than two sets arises. The fertilized cell continues to divide with the result that all the cells have the extra set of chromosomes. This happens much oftener in plants and the plant will be sterile and can't form seeds.
