The Punnett square is a valuable tool, but it's not ideal for every genetics problem. For instance, suppose you were asked to calculate the frequency of the recessive class not for an Aa x Aa cross, not for an AaBb x AaBb cross, but for an AaBbCcDdEe x AaBbCcDdEe cross. If you wanted to solve that question using a Punnett square, you could do it – but you'd need to complete a Punnett square with 1024 boxes. Probably not what you want to draw during an exam, or any other time, if you can help it!
The five-gene problem above becomes less intimidating once you realize that a Punnett square is just a visual way of representing probability calculations. Although it’s a great tool when you’re working with one or two genes, it can become slow and cumbersome as the number goes up. At some point, it becomes quicker (and less error-prone) to simply do the probability calculations by themselves, without the visual representation of a clunky Punnett square. In all cases, the calculations and the square provide the same information, but by having both tools in your belt, you can be prepared to handle a wider range of problems in a more efficient way.
In this article, we’ll review some probability basics, including how to calculate the probability of two independent events both occurring (event X and event Y) or the probability of either of two mutually exclusive events occurring (event X or event Y). We’ll then see how these calculations can be applied to genetics problems, and, in particular, how they can help you solve problems involving relatively large numbers of genes.
The Theory states if my memory is correct. All living things contain one or more cells. And all living cells Come from preexisting cells. Robert Hooke discovered the cell while, Theodor Schwann and Matthias schleiden are credited to the creation of the cell theroy
Answer:
C. lungs
Explanation:
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease caused by the mutation in the CF gene located on chromosome 7 which codes for the CFTR protein.
Cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator protein or CFTR encoded protein regulates the movement of the water and chloride and sodium ions in and out of the cell.
The mutated gene forms abnormal protein which disrupts the movement of the ions and water in and out of the cell.
As a result of thick, the person develops thick and sticky mucus in the respiratory organs, especially in the lungs. Other organs of the body are also affected.
Thus, the lungs are the correct answer.
