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

blondinia [14]

Answer:

The correct answer will be- nasal septum

Explanation:

The nasal cavity is the hollow space or cavity connected to the two nostrils which allow the inhalation and exhalation of the air into the nose.

The nasal cavity is divided into left and right portion by a cartilaginous bony structure called nasal septum. The nasal septum lies in the central position and divides the nasal cavity into symmetrical portions.  

Thus, the nasal septum is the correct answer.

How did the light and dark variations of the moth changer during the Industrial Revolution?
umka2103 [35]
The evolution of the peppered moth is an evolutionary instance of directional colour change in the moth population as a consequence of air pollution during the Industrial Revolution. The frequency of dark-coloured moths increased at that time, an example of industrial melanism. Later, when pollution was reduced, the light-coloured form again predominated. Industrial melanism in the peppered moth was an early test of Charles Darwin's natural selection in action, and remains as a classic example in the teaching of evolution. Sewall Wright described it as "the clearest case in which a conspicuous evolutionary process has actually been observed."
