A 25-year-old woman was planning a backpacking trip in Honduras. Three days after her arrival in the country, she developed wate

ry diarrhea, abdominal cramps, bloating, nausea, and low grade fever. She administered an anti-diarrheal drug, plenty of fluids, and her diarrhea subsided within three days. Which of the following is associated with the causative organism of her disease?
a. The organism has O antigen type 157 and flagella type 7
b. The organism may also produce dystentery
c. Production of LT and ST toxins by the causative organism
d. Production of a shiga-like toxin by the causative agent

Answer:

All the options are correct.

Explanation:

The causative agent of the disease is Escheria Coli which is a bacteria.

Escheria Coli have different serotypes which is as a result of variations in its genome.

One of the serotype of E. Coli is E. coli O157:H7 which is a good borne pathogen and it is one of the shiga like toxin producing E.coli, a food borne disease and it is gotten from consuming contaminated food products, raw or not properly processed milk or meat.

The organism has O antigen type 157 and flagella type 7 and can produce LT and ST toxins. It causes infectious dysentery.

The symptoms include watery diarrhea, abdominal cramps, bloating, nausea, and low grade fever.

It can be treated by the administration of an anti-diarrheal drug, plenty of fluids.

If the frequency of the recessive allele for a gene is 0.3, calculate the expected frequency of heterozygotes in the next genera
Kisachek [45]
Q = recessive allele frequency = 0.3, and thus in H-W equilibrium there are ONLY two alleles, q (recessive) and
p (dominant). Therefore all of the p and q present for this gene in a population must account for 100% of this gene's alleles. And 100% = 1.00.
So p, the dominant allele frequency, must be equal to 1 - q --> p = 1 - q
p = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7.
Since heterozygotes are a combination of the p and q, we must again look at the frequencies of each genotype: p + q = 1, then (p+q)^2 = 1^2
So multiplying out (p+q)(p+q) = 1, we get: p^2+2pq+q^2 = 1 (all genotypes), where p^2 = frequency of homozygous dominant individuals, 2pq = frequency of heterozygous individuals, and q^2 = frequency of homozygous recessive individuals.
Therefore if the population is in H-W equilibrium, then the expected frequency of heterozygous individuals = 2pq = 2(0.7)(0.3)
2pq = 2(0.21) = 0.42, or 42% of the population.
Hope that helps you to understand how to solve population genetics problems!
