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

* Apply Concepts A particular plants diploid number of chromosomes is 50. Describe the number of chromosomes in one of the plant
Gnoma [55]

Chromosomes have hereditary function that are capable of self-duplication and they have thread-like structures seen inside the nucleus of plant and animal. In plants, they go through a cycle called alteration of generation that has multicellular stages. One is sporophyte that is a diploid, and the other is gametophyte with a haploid.

Moreover, spores are produce through meiosis so it go through a process of chromosome reduction in order to create a haploid spores. While, gametes undergo mitosis and the structure is already a haploid, which means that the number of chromosomes will not change in order to produce haploid. In this case, the plant have both spores and gametes and the similarities is that, they are both singles celled and a haploid. Therefore, the number of the chromosome in the gametophyte generation is also 32.

a cell has 10% salt solution and 90% water solution,while the beaker has 30% salt solution and 70% water solution. what happens
