The taxon that consists of one or more genera (plural form of genus) is the <u>family</u>.

Explanation:

According to the modern taxonomic classification system, there are eight major levels of division – Domain, Kingdom, Phyllum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species.

Family is the taxonomic order which comes next to the Order and before Genus and consists of one or more genus or genera but sharing a common attributes. The ancestral origin of the family members remains the same.

The kinds of families depend upon the Kingdoms and Orders in the taxonomy. Carl Linnaeus termed family as familia in his classification and divided the major plant groups or families as trees, palms, ferns etc.

Among the family of carnivores in animals, there are many genera like Canidae, Felidae Ursidae etc.

Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder. In one population, the frequency of affected individuals (A 2 A 2) is 0.0004

Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium

Explanation:

Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium formula for allelic frequency is: $p+q=1$

Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium formula for genotypic frequency is: $p^2+q^2+2pq=1$

Here, $p$ =frequency of dominant allele

$q$ =frequency of recessive allele

$p^2$ =frequency of dominant genotype

$q^2$ =frequency of recessive genotype

$2pq$ =frequency of heterozygous genotype

frequency of affected individuals=0.0004(given)

here,affected individuals means the one's having Cystic Fibrosis and since it is recessive disease so we can write frequency of recessive genotype as: $q^2$ =0.0004
