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

An individual having two different alleles of a specific gene is described as being _________ for that specific trait.
borishaifa [10]

An individual having two different alleles of a specific gene is described as being Heterozygous for that specific trait.

You have a heterozygous genotype for that gene if the two versions differ. Being heterozygous for hair color, for example, means you have one allele for red hair and one allele for brown hair. The interaction of the two alleles influences which traits are expressed.

Being homozygous for a gene means you inherited two identical copies. It is the inverse of a heterozygous genotype, in which the alleles differ. People with recessive characteristics, such as blue eyes or red hair, are always homozygous for that gene. In genetics, heterozygous means having inherited different versions (alleles) of a genomic marker from each biological parent. As a result, a person who is heterozygous for a genomic marker has two distinct versions of that marker.
