If the frequency of the disorder in the population is 0.0070, what is the percentage of heterozygous carriers

Biology
1 answer:
Veronika [31]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

15.322 %

Explanation:

Supposing that this is a recessive disorder and the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium:

p² + 2pq + q² = 1, where

1- the genotypic frequency of the homo-zygous dominant allele is p²,  

2- the genotypic frequency homo-zygous recessive allele is q², and

3- the genotypic frequency heterozygous allele is 2pq  

Therefore:

q² = 0.007 >> q = √ 0.007 = 0,0836  

p = 1 - q = 1 - 0,0836 = 0.9164

2pq = 2 x 0.9164 x 0,0836 = 0.15322 (or 15.322 %)

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Cystic fibrosis is a genetically transmitted or heriditary disease.

Explanation:

In cystic fibrosis the lungs and the digestive system get effected. It causes the CFTR protein (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane conductane Regulator) to become dysfunctional. Due to this dysfunction, chloride become unable to move.  for this reason mucus clogs the airways in the lungs which leads to respiratory failure and other complications. The gene responsible of this disease located at the long arm of chromosome number 7. Of all ethnic groups, caucasians have the highest inherited risk of this disease.
