Question
Chapter 17, Problem 37E
Summary Introduction
To Review:
The consequences of low surfactant in premature babies and appropriate treatments.
Introduction
The RDS or the respiratory distress syndrome is a condition, in which the low surfactant is produced in the lungs. The lungs are amongst the last developed organs in the fetus, it occurs around the 30th week of pregnancy and if the baby is premature, the development of the lungs does not take place properly, which causes the occurrence of RDS.

Researchers studying a small milkweed population note that some plants produce a toxin and other plants do not. They identify the gene responsible for toxin production. The dominant allele (T) codes for an enzyme that makes the toxin, and the recessive allele (t) codes for a nonfunctional enzyme that cannot produce the toxin. Heterozygotes produce an intermediate amount of toxin. The genotypes of all individuals in the population are determined (see table) and used to determine the actual allele frequencies in the population. TT 0.49 Tt 0.42 tt 0.09 Refer to the table above. Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? A) Yes. C) No; there are more homozygotes than expected. B) No; there are more heterozygotes than expected. D) It is impossible to tell.arrow_forward
