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

What is the major function of the neuron?
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

Pass information by generating electric signals

Explanation:

Neurons are the fundamental unit of the nervous system. Neurons send information across the body through generation of  electric signals called as action potential. There are basically three types of neurons  

a) Sensory neurons which carry information from the sense organs in the form of impulse to the central nervous system (CNS)

b) Motor neurons – These carry information from the CNS to the body parts such as sense organs, muscles etc.

c) Interneurons – They are connecting neurons which are responsible for transferring information from one neuron to the other neuron.
