For this problem, we use the formula for radioactive decay which is expressed as follows:

An = Aoe^-kt

where An is the amount left after time t, Ao is the initial amount and k is a constant.  

We calculate as follows:

at hal-life equal to 5700,

An = Aoe^-kt

0.5 = e^-k(5700)

k = 1.22x10^-4

An = A

Option D

Explanation:

(the gene for the disease has incomplete penetrance. the gene for the disease has limited expressivity. the disease is polygenic) - all these are examples of non-mendelian inheritance which include incomplete penetrance, polygenic inheritance etc. These do not follow the mendelian pattern of inheritance.

(the gene for the disease is recessive.)- this shows the mendelian pattern of inheritance... Dominant and recessive characteristics are examples that show Mendelian inheritance.
