Question

5. Sleeping in class (SLC) is an autosomal recessive disorder that affects 18 in 100 Chico State students. a) What is the frequency of the recessive allele that causes SLC? b) What is the frequency of carriers of this sad disorder? 6. A woman without cystic fibrosis and no family history of the disease wants to know the likelihood that she carries the allele. Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder that affects 1/2000 newborn Americans. What is the likelihood that the woman is a carrier of the cystic fibrosis allele? 7. What is the likelihood that the woman from question 5 is a carrier, and her mate is a carrier, and they have a child with cystic fibrosis?

Step 1

Since SLC is an autosomal recessive disorder, we can assume that q^2 = 18/100 = 0.18. Show more…

00:01 Okay, what i answer this question is talk about hard on the grammar equilibrium.

00:03 We're going to according to that, p plus q is going to be equal to one, where p is the frequency of the dominant allele, if it means like this, and q is the frequency of a digressif alil in this population.

00:14 While p square plus 2pq plus q is equal to 1, where p square is the frequency of individuals in this population of homosego.

00:24 2 pq is the frequency of individuals in the population that are heterocygose, and q is the frequency of individuals in this population.

00:30 That are homozygo recessive.

00:32 Okay? this question says cystic fibrosis is an autosomer recessive disorder that affects one out of one, out of two thousand newborn americans.

00:44 A woman without cystic fibrosis and no family history of the disease was to know the likelihood that she carries the disease allele.

00:51 So, it says using the hardware equilibrium equation like this, what is the probability that she is a carrier? so practically we have to work with this.

01:01 This is the frequency for 65 bros.

01:04 It means positive and this is also the value for q squared.

01:07 So you have the q squared is equal to 1 divided by 2 ,000.

01:12 You can divide this and you're going to get that qs square is equal to 0 .005.

01:22 So you can apply a good square at both sides and you're going to get that approximately the value for q is going to be 0 .22.

01:31 Oh, i'm forget, 0 .0 .0...
