Answer:

50%

Explanation:

Let's assume that the allele "T" gives the normal phenotype while the recessive allele "t" imparts the disease and is lethal in homozygous condition. The genotype of each of the two carrier parents would be "Tt". A cross between Tt and Tt would give the progeny in the following genotype ratio=

Tt x Tt= 1/4 TT: 1/2 Tt: 1/4 tt

Therefore, 1/2 or 50% progeny would be the carrier for the Tay-Sachs disease.

What is the difference between inductive and deductive reasoning?
murzikaleks [220]
The main difference between inductive and deductive reasoning is that when we're doing inductive reasoning we're trying to create formal rules or formal inferences from a limited set of information, while during deductive reasoning, we're trying to deduce what would happen in a certain case based on general information available.
