. Jack and Jill are thinking about starting a family and they come to you with a question about a rare recessive genetic disease

called Alpers Syndrome. Alpers causes progressive neurodegeneration in infants and children and is usually lethal within the first 10 years of life. Jack's grandfather had a brother die of Alpers Syndrome, while Jill has no family history of the disease. If the frequency of heterozygotes for Alpers is 1 in 2000 in the general population, what is the chance that Jack and Jill will have a child with Alpers Syndrome? (Be sure to completely reduce your answer.)

Answer:

The chance of  having a Child who is a Heterozygote  is 50% , The chance of having a child that will completely come down with Alpers syndrome is 0%

Explanation:

Jack  has a history of Alpers in his family

Jill has no history

lets assume Jack is a carrier : Ab ( because that is how he could have survived the first 10 lethal  years )

Jill : AA

Therefore the probability/chance of Jack and Jill having a child with Alpers ( carrier ) syndrome will be 50 % as shown below

AA * Ab = AA , Ab, AA, Ab

The child produced by Jack and Jill will only be a carrier of the syndrome and not completely affected by the syndrome

ASAP PLEASE HELP!!!!
MissTica

Answer:

B !

Explanation:

I'm basing this off of a lesson I took two years ago, but the answer is B! The interior of Earth is rumored to be filled with magma as a way to have convection currents in itself, and to move the tectonic plates/ create the tectonic plates, if I remember correctly.

If i'm wrong I can still prove why it's not the other choices.

It's not A becuase when rock gets hotter, it rises, and when it cools, it sinks.

it's not C becuase it said "interior of the planet", which it may be referencing somewhere having to do to below the crust. as well, you need to cool rocks as to make it solid, not heated up rocks. but even then, mountains are made by the plates.

it's not D becuase glaciers are affected by climate change and occurrences the biosphere, not the interior of the planet.
