Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder in homozygous recessives that causes death during the teenage years. If 9 in 10,000 newborn babies have the disease, what is the expected frequency of the recessive (A2) allele according to the Hardy-Weinberg equation?

Suppose 64% of a remote mountain village can taste phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) and must, therefore, have at least one copy of the dominant PTC taster allele. If this population conforms to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for this gene, what percentage of the population must be homozygous recessive?

In a Hardy-Weinberg population with two alleles, A and a, that are in equilibrium, the frequency of allele a is 0.9. What is the frequency of individuals with AA genotype?

  Q17. According to the label, what must be done prior to administering this medication?
