Answer:

The exception is d) Inactivation of phosphodiesterase

Explanation:

In the presence of light:

a) The membrane potential of the photoreceptors is hyperpolarized, causing a reduction in the amount of neurotransmitter released by the photoreceptor terminal to the postsynaptic neurons

b) Sodium ions accumulate outside the plasma membrane and the receptor potential takes a form

of hyperpolarization 6. This change in membrane potential leads to the closure of calcium channels. The end result is a decrease in the secretion of the neurotransmitter glutamate by the photoreceptors

c) Visual transduction or phototransduction is the process by which a light photon generates a nervous response in the photoreceptors

d) As a consequence of phosphodiesterase activation, degradation of a molecule called cGMP (guanosine cyclic monophosphate) is stimulated

Cystic fibrosis is most common in individuals of Northern European descent, affecting 1 in 3200 newborns. Assuming that these al
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

0.0177

Explanation:

Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease, thereby an individual must have both copies of the CFTR mutant alleles to have this disease. The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium states that p² + 2pq + q² = 1, where p² represents the frequency of the homo-zygous dominant genotype (normal phenotype), q² represents the frequency of the homo-zygous recessive genotype (cystic fibrosis phenotype), and 2pq represents the frequency of the heterozygous genotype (individuals that carry one copy of the CFTR mutant allele). Moreover, under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the sum of the dominant 'p' allele frequency and the recessive 'q' allele frequency is equal to 1. In this case, we can observe that the frequency of the homo-zygous recessive condition for cystic fibrosis (q²) is 1/3200. In consequence, the frequency of the recessive allele for cystic fibrosis can be calculated as follows:

1/3200 = q² (have two CFTR mutant alleles) >>  

q = √ (1/3200) = 1/56.57 >>

- Frequency of the CFTR allele q = 1/56.57 = 0.0177  

- Frequency of the dominant 'normal' allele p = 1 - q = 1 - 0.0177 = 0.9823
