Answer:

Answer is 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Edward can distrubute pearls to 2 identical bags as fallows:

  • 2W for one bag and 2B for another bag. In this scenerio the probability of picking a black pearl is 1/2.
  • 1W and 1B for one bag and 1W and 1B for another bag. In this situation the probability of picking a black pearl is 1/2 × 1/2 is equal to 1/4
  • At the end, the sum of two scenerio is 1/2 + 1/4 = 3/4

One parent is a cystic fibrosis carrier, and the other has
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

A - 0%

B- 50%

C- 50%

D- 100%

Step-by-step explanation:

Cystic fibrosis is inherited in an autosomal recessive form, meaning that a person has to inherit two abnormal genes for the disease to manifest. In the case of this question, one parent is a gene carrier, so his genotype is Aa, while the other does not have the cystic fibrosis gene, so AA.

Performing the cross of Aa x AA, we can see that:

a.) The probability of a child would have cystic fibrosis is 0%, since the disease is recessive and to be affected it should receive a recessive gene from each parent.

b.) The probability of a child would be a carrier is 50%, as 50% of the crossing phenotypes are Aa.

c.) The probability of a child would not have cystic fibrosis and is not a carrier is 50%, as 50% of the child's genotype is AA.

d.) The probability of a child would be healthy is 100%, as of all possible phenotypes none is affected.
