What factors go into calculating an ecological footprint

zzz [600]

<h2>Ecological Footprint</h2>

Explanation:

The Ecological Footprint of an individual is determined by including the entirety of individuals' requests that vie for organically gainful space, for example, cropland to develop potatoes or cotton, or backwoods to create timber or to sequester carbon dioxide outflows.
The national normal or per capita Ecological Footprint of utilization is equivalent to a nation's Ecological Footprint of utilization isolated by its populace.
As indicated by the Global Footprint Network, the Ecological Footprint for the normal American is 8.6 gha, more than twofold Brazil's normal of 3.1 gha and Mexico's normal of 2.6 gha. Check The month to month service bills.

Increase your kilowatt hours by 1.85. For instance, 67 hrs X 1.85 = 123.95 lbs of CO2.
Increase your flammable gas use (therms) by 13.466. For instance, 19 therms X 13.466 = 255.854 lbs of CO2.
Increase gallons or propane utilized by 13.
Increase gallons of fuel utilized by 22.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of most common recessive disorders among Caucasians it affects 1 in 1,700 newborns. What is the expe

Phantasy [73]

Answer: The expected frequency of carriers is P(Aa)=0.046.

The proportion of childs with CF is P(aa)=0.024.

25% of having a child with CF (aa).

Explanation:

Hardy-Weinberg's principle states that in a large enough population, in which mating occurs randomly and which is not subject to mutation, selection or migration, gene and genotype frequencies remain constant from one generation to the next one, once a state of equilibrium has been reached which in autosomal loci is reached after one generation. So, a population is said to be in balance when the alleles in polymorphic systems maintain their frequency in the population over generations.

Given the gene allele frequencies in the gene pool of a population, it is possible to calculate the expected frequencies of the progeny's genotypes and phenotypes. If P = percentage of the allele A (dominant) and q = percentage of the allele a (recessive), the checkerboard method can be used to produce all possible random combinations of these gametes.

Note that p + q = 1, that is, the percentages of gametes A and a must equal 100% to include all gametes in the gene pool.

The genotypic frequencies added together should also equal 1 or 100%, and all the equations can be summarized as follows:

$p+q=1\\(p+q)^{2} = p^{2} +2pq+q^{2} = 1\\P(AA)=p^{2} \\P(aa)=q^{2} \\P(Aa)=2pq1$

So, there are 1700 individuals and only one is affected. Since it is a recessive disorder, the genotype of that individual must be aa. So the genotypic frequency of aa is 1/1700=0.000588.

Then, $P(aa)=q^{2}=0.000588$ . And with that we can calculate the value of q,

$P(a)=q=\sqrt{0.000588}=0.024$

And since we know that p+q=1, we can find out the value of p.

$p+0.024=1\\1-0.024=p\\p=0.976$

Next, we find out the genotypic frequency of the genotype AA:

$P(A)=p=0.976\\P(AA)=p^{2} = 0.976^{2}=0.95$

Now, we can find out the genotypic frequency of the genotype Aa:

$P(Aa)=2pq=2 x 0.976 x 0.024 = 0.046$

Notice than:

$p^{2} + 2pq + q^{2} = 1\\x^{2} 0.976^{2} + 2 x 0.976 x 0.024 + 0.024^{2} = 1$

Then, the expected frequency of carriers is P(Aa)=0.046

The proportion of childs with CF is P(aa)=0.024

If two parents are carriers, then their genotypes are Aa.

Gametes produced by them can only have one allele of the gene. So they can either produce A gametes, or a gametes.

In the punnett square, we can see that there genotypic ratio is 2:1:1 and the phenotypic ratio is 3:1. So, there is a probability of 25% of having an unaffected child, with both normal alleles (AA); 50% of having a carrier child (Aa) and 25% (0.25) of having a child with CF (aa).
