Achondroplasia is a form of dwarfism caused by a dominant allele. The homozygous dominant genotype causes prenatal death, so ind

ividuals who have this condition are all heterozygotes. In the questions below, show how you came to your answer.
a) If a person with achondroplasia mates with a person of average height who does not have achondroplasia, what percentage of their children would be expected to be of average height?
b) If two persons with achondroplasia have children, what percentage of their children would be expected to have achondroplasia?

Answer:

The correct answers are

Question a) "50%".

Question b) "66%".

Explanation:

Achondroplasia is caused by a dominant allele, which means that a person with a "A" allele will develop this condition. In this case, all the people with Achondroplasia are heterozygotes "Aa" because the dominant genotype "AA" causes prenatal death. If a person with achondroplasia "Aa" mates with a person of average height "aa", the expected percentage of children with average height will be 50%, since there are 50% of chances of having "aa" children and 50% chances of having "Aa" children. Also, If two persons with achondroplasia have children ("Aa" x "Aa") , the expected percentage of children with achondroplasia will be 66%. The probability of having children with the "Aa" genotype is 50%, however since the "AA" genotype causes prenatal death, this genotype is not considered in the percentage.

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

None of the questions asked can be answered completely from the graph provided 

Reason

1) Which source of electricity generation caused the most emissions?: The graph does provide the information of greenhouse gas emission from different sectors like electricity, transport, industry, agriculture, commercial and residential.  Electricity can be generated from several sources like hydrothermal, nuclear, etc. However, information of how these sources contributes towards greenhouse gas emission via electricity sector is not provided in graph

2) What types of industries are responsible for greenhouse gas emissions?: The graph does provides the information about total greenhouse gas emissions from industries. However, individual contribution from different types of industries cannot be answered.

3) Which natural sources of greenhouse gas emissions are shown here?: The graph provides information about greenhouse gases emission only due to human activity like electricity generation, agriculture, etc. and not from natural sources. 

4) Why is agriculture the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions?: The reason for largest emission of greenhouse gas due to agriculture cannot be answer from information provided.

5) What caused the dip in greenhouse gas emissions in transportation after 2007?: The reason for dip in greenhouse gas in transportation cannot be answer from information provided.

A particular gene has two alleles, a dominant allele A and a recessive allele a. The frequency of allele A is 0.55. If the popul
bezimeni [28]

If p = frequency of A and q = frequency of a, then assuming H-W equilibrium we have

p + q = 1   ⇒   q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.55 = 0.45

Then the expected frequency of the heterozygous genotype Aa is 2pq = 2 • 0.55 • 0.45 = 0.495.
