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.

write 1 reason for why the pride be a positive trait, write 2 reason for why the pride be negative trait
Zina [86]
Pride can be a positive trait as it helps an individual gain confidence in their work and skills, making them more successful and happier. However, pride can be negative as it may cause one to believe they are entitled to their success, and also may cause them to treat others inferiorly. Hope this helps! :)
