The incidence of cystic fibrosis, a recessive genetic disorder in the Caucasian population of United States, is

Biology

kaheart [24]3 years ago
4 0
Cystic fibrosis occurs 1 in every 2,500 individuals.
Using Hardy Weinberg principle,
freq. of recessive allele/ q2 = 1/2500 = 0.0004
Take the square root,
q = 0.02
freq. of dominant allele/ p = q - 1
p = 0.98
freq. of heterozygous individuals = 2pq = 0.04

Therefore, the answer is 0.04, which is C.

When the dna fails to separate correctly during meiosis, gametes with extra or missing chromosomes may be formed. this is called
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Nondisjunction

DNA replication duplicates every strand of DNA so that there are two copies of every chromosome. These (attached) copies, called sister chromatids, undergo two rounds of chromosomal divisions ( Meiosis I and II). A total of four haploid cells are now present. Homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids are pulled apart in a process called disjunction. However, chromosomes may at times fail to separate properly. This is called nondisjunction.

Nutrients enter the bloodstream during the process of
alina1380 [7]
D) Absorption. 

Raw materials from the foods we eat are chemically digested so that the complex molecules in food are broken down into simple chemical substances. This allows the substances to be thin enough to pass through the thin walls of the villi - lining of the intestine -  and then pass through capillaries and into the bloodstream. Hope this helps.

Second question please
Rashid [163]
Its bc plants can only take in so much nitrogen like compounds (nitrates, ammonium etc) to keep a stable ph level so ammonium is positively charged and nitrates are negatively charged they release hydrogen to equal the ph levels but since it’s already getting ammonium in the cycle it can’t receive more and the ratio must be compatible with the plants therefore not different.
Also, plants can’t take it in bc it needs the bacteria to break the ammonium down into a usable compound. Like nitrates.
I’m sorry if that was contradicting. I’m trying my best. :)
