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?

Thirty one students reported that they attended the concert.

N-based formula A= 2NAA + NAa divided by  2N a = 2Naa + NAa divided by  2N AA = NAA/N Aa = NAa/N aa = Naa/N Hardy-Weinburg p2+2pq+q2 = 1 = (p = q)2
