Question
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common autosomal recessive disorders. 1 in
2,500 Caucasian newborns have CF.
12. The calculation that best represents the proportion of people who do not carry
any alleles for CF in the Caucasian population is
1-
1/2500
√√17/2
1/2500
√1/2500 - 1
(1/2500)²
The ability to taste the chemical phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) is controlled by the
dominant allele T. Individuals who have the allele T find that PTC tastes bitter.
Homozygous recessive individuals find that PTC has no taste. In a sample of 320
people, 218 could taste PTC and 102 could not taste PTC.
15. Which of the following rows provides the probable percentage of this population
with each genotype indicated?
