Question

After completion of this class, you and 19 of your closest friends (let's say 10 males and 10 females) charter a plane to go on a round-the-world tour. Unfortunately, you all crash land (safely) on a deserted island. No one finds you and you start a new population totally isolated from the rest of the world. No one has the cystic fibrosis phenotype, however, two of your friends carry (i.e. are heterozygous) for the recessive allele (c). Assuming that the frequency of this allele does not change as the population grows, what will be the incidence of cystic fibrosis on your island?

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Hence 0.25% of the F1 population will be born with the disease of cystic fibrosis.
