Which characteristic is most consistent with anorexia nervosa?

Bumek [7]

The body size overestimation is most consistent characteristics with anorexia nervosa. The anorexia nervosa is a mental and perhaps life-threatening eating condition distinct by an very low body weight comparative to stature in which this is called body mass index and is a role of an individual height and weight, risky and unnecessary weight loss, irrational fear of weight gains and misleading awareness of self-perception and body. The person who undergo from anorexia nervosa demonstrate an obsession with a thin figure and unusual eating patterns and is interchangeable with the term anorexia which talk about to self-starvation and deficiency of appetite.

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. <u>If P = percentage of the allele A (dominant) and q = percentage of the allele a (recessive)</u>, 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).

Does any landform on Earth’s surface look the same as it did 5 million years ago? explain why or why not.

Sophie [7]

Answer:

Earth's surface didn't look much different. With few exceptions.

The global climate is cooler and drier, and seasonal, similar to modern climates. As the climate began to cool down grasslands continued to expand and forests started to dwindle in extent. In the seas, kelp forests made their first appearance and soon became one of Earth's most productive ecosystems. Water from the Atlantic Ocean poured in through the Strait of Gibraltar to deluge the Mediterranean Basin. The event is called the Zanclean flood. Parts of of southern Norway and southern Sweden that had been near sea level rose to form the Hardangervidda plateau and the South Swedish highlands.

Shorty after, the glaciations, uplift of the Rocky mountains and Panama seaway closure began to reshape the Earth.

The x chromosome is found ________. the y chromosome is found ________. in both males and females; only in females only in males

elixir [45]

The answer is both in males and females; only in males. Males have one Y chromosome and one X chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes. In mammals, the Y chromosome controls a gene which is the SRY, which produces embryonic improvement as a male. The Y chromosomes of males and other mammals also contain other genes needed for normal sperm production.
