6 0

Answer: 5

Explanation:

Since 1 out of 200 people carry the defective gene that causes inherited colon cancer.

In a sample of 1000 individuals, we say

1 = 200

y = 1000

cross multiply

y x 200 = 1000 x 1

200y = 1000

y = 1000/200

y = 5

Thus, in a sample of 1000 individuals, approximately 5 will be carriers

Why were health care reform activists like dr. margaret flowers angry with sen. baucus during the committee hearings? do you fee
Ratling [72]
<span>Activists felt that their calls for a single-payer system were not being taken seriously and the need for hearings on the subject were being downplayed. This is justified because, at the very least, there could have been debate on the subject instead of a complete shutting-out of their wishes. Sen. Baucus could have, at the very least, called for a committee hearing on the subject and questioned advocates of the concept about the pros and cons of a single-payer system, instead of completely downplaying the idea out-of-hand. This could have led to an increase in interest in the idea and maybe even bringing some of the ideas into the current health-care system.</span>

vlada-n [284]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

A) test cross

B) two-point test-cross

C) three-point test-cross

D) chi-square analysis

E) recombination frequency (r) calculation

Answer:

D) chi-square analysis

Explanation:

Chi-square analysis is a test which is used to study the relationship between the variables of a population.  The Chi-square test is performed to test if the observed results are due to chance or is real.

To test this a null hypothesis is formulated which says that there is no relation between the variables.  The chi-square test is used in various disciplines but in molecular biology, there are used in the linkage mapping and the Mendelian crosses.

Thus, Option-D is correct.
