. 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

A wolf's diploid number of chromosomes is 78. How would the number of chromosomes in the wolf's body cells compare to the number
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer: The number of chromosomes in the wolf's body cells is 78 while the gametes has 39

Explanation:

Since each body cell under only mitosis to yield two daughter cells with equal number of chromosome as the parent cell (i.e diploid number, 2n) while sex cells undergo meiosis to yield four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell (i.e haploid number, n); thus, the wolf's body cells has 78 chromosomes while the gametes has 39 chromosomes.

An adolescent client with an antisocial personality disorder has been admitted to the hospital because of drug abuse and repeate
Yuri [45]
The correct answer is "identifies the feelings underlying the acting-out behaviour ".
This statement shows that the adolescent is recognizing the feelings and is ready to talk about them. This willingness to express this indicates the development of insight and the sincere need to investigate the true source of these behaviours.
By stating that he will never behave like that again and that he will conform to society's norms, he is simply using expressions with no meaning to him. If he discusses seducing other adolescents, he is just manifesting the behaviour that led him to the hospital in the first place.
