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%

Chromatin is a part of the spindle apparatus
Explanation:
Chromosome is not only responsible for genetic material. Chromatin is that substance which consists of protein and DNA. Here DNA carries genetic instruction. Histones are main proteins of chromatin. It is also called the packaging of element for the DNA.
In two forms chromatin exist. One is euchromatin and another is heterochromatin. Euchromatin is less condensed and it can be transcribed. Heterochromatin is highly condensed and typically not transcribed. Chromosomal pathway regulates spindle assembly.
Answer:a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen
Explanation:
Yes, Avery, Mc Leod and Mc Carty do thought that genes may be involved in the transformation of non virulent rough Strains of <em>Diplococcus pneumoniae</em> to harmful smooth strained bacteria
<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
Avery was a Canadian medical researcher who along with other two well known scientists of the contemporary time went for an experiment where he took two strains of bacteria Diplococcus pneumoniae - one is rough and nonvirulent and another is smooth and virulent. For a control run, he injected both the bacteria in separate mice and the expected result was there. Now as he injected heat killed smooth bacteria, the mice survived. But as he injected heat killed smooth bacteria with rough bacteria, although there was no organism which can kill the mice the mice died. And autopsy revealed the presence of live smooth bacteria in the lungs.
Thus they suspected something have gone from the dead smooth bacteria into the non virulent rough bacteria which lead to transformation of the rough bacteria to smooth ones. Thus, the experiment was carried on, which suspected role of genes in this transformation.
