Multiple Choice
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder in humans where the person has two homozygous recessive alleles for the gene. If the disease is left untreated, it causes severe health problems in the individual. If 9 in 10,000 newborn babies have the disease, what are the expected frequencies of the dominant (A1) and recessive (A2) alleles according to the Hardy-Weinberg equation?
A) f(A1) = 0.9997, f(A2) = 0.0003
B) f(A1) = 0.9800, f(A2) = 0.0200
C) f(A1) = 0.9700, f(A2) = 0.0300
D) f(A1) = 0.9604, f(A2) = 0.0392
