Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder in which a particular gene does not make protein the way that it otherwise normally would. Given that cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder, how would an individual most likely contract this disease? A. a person’s parents would have to carry genetic material for cystic fibrosis within their chromosomes which could then be passed down.

B. a person’s parents would have to carry genetic material for cystic fibrosis within their chloroplasts which could then be passed down.

C. a person would have to have been exposed to environmental influences such as living next to a nuclear power plant

D. genetic disorders can be transmitted in so many ways that it is impossible to tell how a person acquired the disease.

Astudy by solloch and et. al., in 2017, gives the map above which shows the frequency of alleles with a ccr5-delta32 mutations over 87 different countries. this mutation deletes the presence of a co-receptor (ccr5) on the outside of human t-cells (lymphocytes). some viruses, such as the one responsible for the black death and human immunodeficiency virus (hiv), require this receptor for attachment to host cells during the infection process. the black death was an epidemic that passed over northern europe during the 14th century killing nearly 60% of europeans. according to this information, which explanation best explains why northern europeans show a greater immunity for hiv than some other parts of the world?

Suppose a particular species of tulip plant has three alleles for the gene that codes for flower color. the cr allele produces red tulips, the cp allele produces purple tulips, and the cw allele produces white tulips. cr is dominant over cp and cw, and cp is dominant over cw. for each of the following crosses, determine the expected ratio of offspring for each flower color. cr cp x cp cw cr cw x cp cw 1 red: 1 purple : 0 white, 1 red: 2 purple: 1 white, 2 red: 1 purple 1 white, 1 red: 3 purple : 0 white, 2 red: 0 purple : 2 white, 2 red: 2 purple : 0 white
