5 0

Answer:

4% of the white population in the US are carriers of cystic fibrosis.

Explanation:

According to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium equation, if q2 equals 1/2,500, then q equals .02, p equals .98, and 2pq equals approximately .04, or 4%.

Remember that the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium equation is <u>used when the population maintains its genetic variation constant</u>.

jasenka [17]

There are three possible types of room in the hospital:

1. ward (3-4 patients)

2. semi-private room (2 patients)

3. private room (1 patient).

Incidence of hospital-acquired infections is growing, so it would be desirable to promote greater safety for patients in order to avoid those nosocomial infections. So, the best way to prevent the spread of infections is to put patients that are contagious into semi-private and private rooms.

During the early days of deciphering the human genome, scientists were surprised to find that the number of genes appeared to be
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Given what we know, we can confirm that the aspect of nucleic acids and transcription that can help explain this discrepancy is that of alternative splicing.

<h3>Alternative Splicing.</h3>
  • This process allowed the cells to use a single gene for the creation of various proteins.
  • This process includes the separation of RNA at splicing sites to create new versions of the mRNA strand.
  • This helps to increase the diversity of mRNA's available and create more proteins.

Therefore, given that alternative splicing allows the cells to create multiple forms of distinct proteins from a single gene, this allowed our organisms to develop the vast number of proteins we use, without the need for a much larger genome.
