Huntington's disease is an inherited autosomal dominant disorder that can affect both men and women. Imagine a couple has had se

ven children, and later in life, the husband develops Huntington's disease. He is tested and it is discovered he is heterozygous for the disease allele, Hh. The wife is also genetically tested for the Huntington's disease allele, and her test results show she is unaffected, hh.
What is the percent probability that the first child of this couple will have Huntington's disease?
probability: %

What is the percent probability that four of the seven children will have Huntington's disease?
probability: %

1. The percent probability that the first child of the couple will have Huntington's disease is 50%

2. The percent probability that four of the seven children will have Huntington's disease is 6.25%

<h3>Genetical probabilities</h3>

The disease is autosomal dominant. Only one dominant allele is needed for the disease to be manifested.

The husband is Hh and the wife is hh.

            Hh    x     hh

         Hh   Hh   hh   hh

Hh (affected) = 1/2

hh (unaffected) = 1/2

1. Probability that the first child of this couple will have Huntington's disease is the same as the probability of having the disease. Thus, it is 1/2 (50%)

2. Probability that four of the seven children will have Huntington's disease is the same as the probability of having the disease in 4 places.

  1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/16 or 6.25%

Why does secondary succession happen more frequently than primary succession?
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

soil nutrients remain in the area which enables plants to grow

Explanation:

In primary succession, a previously uninhabited or barren area such as newly exposed rock is colonized by living things for the first time. In secondary succession, an area that was once occupied by living organisms is disturbed, by an event such as a forest fire or flood, and then re-colonized following the disturbance.

Secondary succession happens more frequently and more 'easily' because once living things have been in an area, the soil is full of nutrients, making it easier for plants to occupy the space and grow more quickly. When there is no nutrients in the soil, it is much less fertile, and tricky for plants to grow.

A farmer cultivates carrot in the field.(a) Make a possible food chain with four trophic levels that may develop there. (b) what
labwork [276]

Answer A:

The food chain can be drawn as follows:

            Carrots

               ↓

              Rabbits

                ↓

             Snakes

                ↓

              Eagles

Answer B:

The animals in the second trophic level are prey to the animal of the third trophic level. The energy which is stored in the rabbits will be received by the snakes of the third trophic level when a snake will consume a rabbit. However, only 10% of the energy will pass from the rabbits to the snakes.
