If one person in 50 is a carrier of an autosomal recessive disorder in a population, the chance that an unrelated man and woman are both carriers is 1/2500.

<h3>What is the genetic likelihood?</h3>

The expression 'genetic likelihood' refers to the estimation to have a given phenotype (in this case, a recessive disorder).

The genetic likelihood that an unrelated man and woman are both carriers for a disorder that has an incidence of 1/50 in the population is equal to 1/50 x 1/50 = 1/2500.

In conclusion, the chance that an unrelated man and woman are heterozygous (carriers) for a autosomal recessive disorder that exhibits an incidence of 1/50 in the population is 1/2500.

Studentka2010 [4]

As people age there one become more porous due to loss of calcium and phosphate and osteoporosis.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Osteoporosis is a condition in which the bones become brittle and easy to break on injury which results due to the loss of calcium from the bones. Many health problems and aging can lead to the disease of osteoporosis like breast cancer, prostrate cancer, depression, rheumatoid arthritis, Sickle Cell disease, Parkinson's disease, thalassemia, and many others.

The decreased density of the bone can be detected with the help of bone density x-ray. In females osteoporosis is common after menopause in which the drop of estrogen hormone levels cause the loss of calcium absorption in the bones.

How would you make the observation "The bird chirped" into a scientific observation?
Serga [27]
I kind of think that's okay for a scientific observation on it's own, but I guess if I'm going by the pattern of the other answers I gave you, I'd make it more specific.

You can say anything to make it more specific (generally in science though, it's focused on what the experiment is about). So ideas that i think would work: something about the frequency of the chirp, how many times the bird chirped, the volume, the duration of the sound.
