The answer is 9%.

To calculate this we will use some <span>formulas of the Hardy-Weinberg principle:
</span><span>p² + 2pq + q² = 1 and <span>p + q = 1
where:
</span></span>

<span>p - the frequency of the A allele.
q - the frequency of the a allele.</span>

p² - the frequency of dominant homozygote (with AA genotype)

2pq - the frequency of heterozygote (with Aa genotype)

<span>q² - the frequency of recessive homozygote (with aa genotype)</span>

<span>We know:</span>

p = 70% = 70/100 = 0.7

q = 30% = 30/100 = 0.3

We need to calculate the frequency of the genotype aa:

q² = ?

Since we know the frequency of allele q, it is easy to calculate the frequency of the genotype aa:

q² = 0.3² = 0.09 = 0.09 · 100% = 9%

What is the cause of the hydranencephaly? Select one: a. Aqueductal stenosis b. Subaranchoid stenosis c. Overproduction of CSF d
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is d.

Explanation:

Hydranencephaly is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the absence and replacement of the cerebral hemispheres by cerebrospinal fluid and necrotic remains, with preservation of the membranes (leptomeninges), within a skull of normal capacity and shape. It is the most severe form of cortical destruction cerebral bilateral and is considered an extreme form of porencephaly (focal cystic cavity). It mainly affects the territory of the internal carotid artery and middle cerebral artery, with preservation of the territories supplied by the vertebrobasilar arteries. The most accepted etiology is carotid vascular insufficiency, due to multiple causes (bleeding, placental thromboembolism, arteritis, vascular malformations, among others).
