Suppose that we study a gene that has been linked to coronary heart disease. We find in a pilot study that in subjects with the

C/ C genotype 20 events have occurred in 200 individuals over a period of 10 years, whereas in subjects with the T/ T genotype 30 events have occurred in 250 individuals in 10 years. Which genotype appears to be associated with a higher prevalence of heart disease?

Answer:

T/ T genotype

Explanation:

To know which genotype appears to be associated with a higher prevalence of heart disease, you must know which genotype appeared in the highest percentage in the population tested.

For this, we will do the following calculations.

  • C/C Genotype:

200 people = 100%

20 people = X

X = (20 * 100) / 200

X = 10%

This means that the C/C genotype appeared in 10% of the tested population.

Now we must to know the percentage of the T / T genotype, we must consider 200 of the 250 people tested.

  • T/T Genotype:

250 people = 100%

200 people = x

X = (200 * 100) / 250

X = 80%

----

200 people = 80%

30 people = X

X = (30 * 80) / 200

X = 12%

Thus, we can say that the T / T genotype appeared in a higher percentage within the tested population, being considered the genotype that seems to be associated with a higher prevalence of heart disease.

<span>ecosystems

</span>An ecosystem involves both the biological (plants, animals, human beings) and non-biological (land, water, soil, and atmosphere) community which interacts as a system. More importantly, the living things are very dependent on the abiotic community since it cannot survive by itself. Every animal, plant and human needs the primary physiological needs of water, food and shelter provided by the abiotic system.  <span> </span>
