A geneticist is studying two genes. each gene can be either dominant or recessive. a sample of 100 individuals is categorized as

follows. gene 1 gene 2 dominant recessive dominant 56 24 recessive 14 6 (a) what is the probability that a random sampled individual, gene 1 is dominant (b) what is the probability that a random sampled individual, gene 2 is dominant (c) given that gene 1 is dominant, what is the probability that gene 2 is dominant

Attached is a table. I found the exercise on another page on the internet and the sample of 100 individuals was categorised on a table - easier to understand than as it is presented here.
<span>"(a) what is the probability that a random sampled individual, gene 1 is dominant" - We should first add up all of the individuals that are dominant for gene 1 (56+24) and then divide it by the total number of individuals (100).
</span>\frac{56+24}{100}  =0.8
<span>The probability is of 8 in 10 individuals.
"</span><span>(b) what is the probability that a random sampled individual, gene 2 is dominant" - Follow the same logic as in the previous question.
</span>\frac{56+14}{100} =0.7
<span>The probability is of 7 in 10 individuals.
</span>"<span>(c) given that gene 1 is dominant, what is the probability that gene 2 is dominant" - Because we are considering those that are dominant for gene 1, our total number of individuals is the total individuals that are dominant for gene 1 and not the whole 100. Once we have this restriction, and we want to know the probability that gene 2 is dominant in these individuals, we should also only consider those that are dominant for gene 2.
</span>\frac{56}{56+24} =0.7
The probability that gene 2 is dominant, given that that gene 1 is dominant, is of 7 in 10 individuals.

mihalych1998 [28]
<h2>Reproductive Method </h2>

Explanation:

<em>The rank in order from the most specific which is following .</em>

<em>(1) Reproductive isolating mechanism</em>

<em>(2) Sperm-egg incompatibility in sea urchins</em>

<em>(3) Gametic isolation </em>

<em>(4)Prezygotic isolating mechanism</em>

<em>(1) Reproductive isolating mechanism-</em> The components of regenerative confinement are an assortment of transformative instruments, practices and <em>physiological procedures basic for speciation.</em> They keep individuals from various species from delivering posterity, or guarantee that any posterity are sterile.

(<em>2) Sperm-egg contradiction in ocean urchins-</em> Bindin is a gamete acknowledgment protein known to control species-explicit <em>sperm-egg grip</em> and layer combination in ocean urchins.

<em> (3)Gametic isolation - Prezygotic hindrances </em>keep preparation from occurring. Gametic disengagement is a sort of prezygotic hindrance where the<em> gametes (egg and sperm) </em>come into contact, yet no preparation happens. Gametes might be not able to remember each other in various species  

<em> (4) Prezygotic isolating mechanism- </em>while postzygotic segregation forestalls the arrangement of rich posterity. Prezygotic systems incorporate environment segregation, mating seasons, "mechanical" disconnection, gamete detachment and conduct seclusion.
