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%

Cerrena [4.2K]
Nerve that supply bone accompany blood vessels through the nutrient foramen. They are responsible for the innervation of the bone as well as its outer covering, the periostem, the inner lining of the medullary cavity, the endosteum, and the medullary cavity. The nerves that innervates these structures are mainly sensory nerves that signal injuries to the skeleton.

Blood vessels enter the bones from the periosteum through the nutrient foramen (a small opening or hole in the bone), where the nutrient artery enters and where one nutrient veins exists in bone. The blood vessels supply nutrients and oxygen required by cells and remove the waste products from the cells of the bones.

Endosteum functions to cover and lines the bone, it is an incomplete layer of cells that covers all internal surfaces of the bone within the medullary cavity. It contains the Osteoprogenitor cells, osteoblasts and osteoclasts which are important cells of the bone.

Periosteum on the other hand is a fibrous, thick membrane covering the external surface of the bone, apart from the articular cartilage on the epiphysis. It is made of two layers: the outer fibrous layer of dense irregular connective tissues that protects the bone from external structures, anchors the blood vessels and nerves to the surface of the bone. It also  serves as an attachment site for ligaments and tendons. The inner cellular layer contains various cells which includes the osteoprogenitor, osteoclasts and osteoblasts.

Compare and contrast the mechanisms of getting material across the plasma membranes of cells. Tells me what the mechanisms are i
stepladder [879]

Answer:

Materials get transported from the cell by some mechanisms such as Active Transport, Passive Transport, Diffusion, etc.

Explanation:

Active Transport :

It is a process by which, materials are transported from the extracellular membrane to the intracellular membrane with the help of ATP. It has a few types :  

Primary Active Transport :  

This system is standing upon the sodium-potassium pump. It moves out   Na⁺ from the cell and allows the entry of K⁺ into the cell. In this process ATP is a source of energy. E.g, Sodium-potassium pump.

Secondary Active Transport :

It is mainly standing upon Primary Active Transport. In this process, the main key point is the concentration gradient. There is already a concentration gradient set up by the primary active transport. This system uses that up and moves other substances against their own gradient concentration. E.g, assuming, there is a high concentration of sodium outside the cell,  if a route such as a channel or a carrier protein is open then sodium ions will move into the cell.  In this transport system, some cotransporters are used who move in the sodium ion into the sodium gradient.  

Passive transport :

It is a process by which, substances cross the plasma membrane without acquiring any energy from the cell. Here, no energy is needed because the substances are moving from higher concentration to its lower concentration. E.g, cell membrane or plasma membrane works as a permeable or semipermeable membrane.  

Diffusion :

It is the movement of a substance across a membrane, due to the concentration gradient, without any help from other molecules. E.g, movement of the gaseous molecule from cell to cell.
