Cystic fibrosis is caused by a mutation in a single gene. Homozygotes for this mutant recessive allele (ff) have cystic fibrosis. Within a population, 2% of people have cystic fibrosis. Assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency of heterozygotes in the population is 0.24.
If inbreeding was common in this population, what would happen to the percentage of people who have cystic fibrosis over time?

When looking at the complete structure of a nucleotide you can always tell whether it is considered a ribo-nucleotide or a deoxyribo-nucleotide. b. When looking at a glucose monomer (in linear form), you can always tell which polymer of glucose (a starch or cellulose) it will be incorporated into. c. When looking at a single amino acid, you can always tell whether it will be the last amino acid in a polypeptide chain. d. When looking at a nitrogenous base, you can always tell if it will be incorporated into a doublestranded nucleic acid or a single-stranded nucleic acid. e. There is more than one correct answer

Describe if the following homozygous mutant plants will undergo the triple response in the presence and absence of ethylene. Briefly explain your answer.
A. A recessive mutation (loss-of-function) in the EIN3 gene. This recessive mutation results in EIN3 being unable to activate the expression of ethylene inducible genes.
B. A recessive mutation (loss-of-function) in one ethylene receptor gene (ETR1). This recessive mutation resulted in an ETR1 protein that is unable to activate CTR1.
C. A dominant mutation (gain-of-function) in one ethylene receptor gene (ETR1). This dominant mutation results in an ETR1 protein that is unable to bind ethylene.
D. A dominant mutation (gain-of-function) in EIN2. This dominant mutation results in an EIN2 protein that cannot be phosphorylated by CTR1.
