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

Why was discovering the shape of DNA important?
ddd [48]
<span>One important area of DNA research is that of genetics and medical research. Due to our discovery of DNA, our ability to actually diagnose diseases early on has been vastly improved. In addition, we have been able to better assess a person's genetic susceptibility to specific diseases. In doing so, we have also paved the pathway to formulate brand new drugs to treat these diseases. In fact, drugs can essentially be custom made to complement a person's personal biochemistry and genetic makeup. For those diseases that were previously considered lethal and where treatment was either non-existent or largely unsuccessful, the discovery of DNA has essentially led to breakthrough drugs and treatments for patients with serious illnesses.</span>
