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 model? f(A1) = 0.9800, f(A2) = 0.0200 f(A1) = 0.9700, f(A2) = 0.0300 f(A1) = 0.9997, f(A2) = 0.0003 f(A1) = 0.9604, f(A2) = 0.0392

The correct answer is: f(A2) = 0.0300 f(A1) = 0.9997

If 9 in 10,000 newborn babies have the disease, that means that the frequency of recessive homozygous is 9/10000=0.0009.

According to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium p2+2pq+q2=1 (p+q=1) where p2 is frequency of dominant homozygous (only p is dominant allele), 2pq is frequency of heterozygous and q2 is the frequency of recessive homozygous (only q is the frequency of recessive allele). This means that q2=0.0009 and (A2) q=0.03. p (A1)=1-0.03=0.97

When California recently (June 2015) passed a law banning the personal belief exemption of routine childhood vaccines Jim Carrey
NemiM [27]

Answer:

Yes, there is no convincing scientific evidence that thimerosal causes harm by the low doses of thimerosal in vaccines, except for minor reactions like redness and swelling at the injection site

Explanation:

Thimerosal has been used safely as a vaccine additive, added to some vaccines to prevent germs like bacteria and fungi from growing in them dated since early 1930s. Though, Thimerosal contains mercury but the type of mercury doesn’t stays in the body, and is unlikely to make human fall sick.

Most people doesn't have any allergic reaction to it except for redness and swelling at the injection site as early mentioned and this is considered irrelevant when compared to effect of vaccine when contaminated by germ which could cause serious illness or death.
