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

Which of the following is the most direct evidence for evolution?
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

D. Fossil record.

Explanation:

The fossil record evidences the evolutionary history of life on Earth by tracing the life forms that existed from earlier geological times and remained in the sedimentary rock. Different fossils were dated in the sedimentary rocks of all geological periods. The simplest forms of life were discovered in the oldest rocks, while more complex fossil organisms were found in the newest rocks. In consequence, the fossil record can support the evolutionary process as proposed by Charles Darwin, who indicated that the simplest forms of life evolved in more complex organisms.
