the equation to solve these problems is:
1)175*85=100x
x=148.75
2)76*100=80x
x=95
3) 96*100=160x
x=60
4)85*120=100x
x=102
5)56*100=75x
x=74.66
Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the recessive gene is carried in the x chromosome and a father can only pass it to a daughter, the father doesn't have the disease nor carries it.
The mother carries the recessive gene because her father passed her his conditioned gene (only having one x chromosome), while her mother gave her a normal one so she can have normal vision.
The chance of having a boy or a girl is 1/2 and the chance of this baby of having both recessive gene is null because in order to have a girl that is color blind both her x chromosomes must have the recessive gene, but the father can't pass it since he doesn't carries it. Therefore the combined probability is 1/2*(1-0) = 1/2.
6.0 goes next :) hope this helped
