Answer:
0.2404
Explanation:
The genes R/r and E/e are linked and there is 4% recombination between them.
<u>The possible genotypes and phenotypes are:</u>
- RR or Rr: Rh+ blood type
- rr: Rh- blood type
- EE or Ee: elliptocytosis
- ee: normal red blood cells
Tom and Terri each have elliptocytosis (they are E_), and each is Rh+ (they are R_).
Tom's mother has elliptocytosis (E_) and is Rh- (rr), so she has the genotype Er/_r. His father is healthy (ee) and has Rh+ (R_), so he has the genotype eR/e_. Tom must have inherited his E allele from his mother and his R allele from his father, so he has the genotype eR/Er.
Terri's father is Rh+ (R_) and has elliptocytosis (E_), while Terri's mother is Rh- (rr) and is healthy (ee) with the genotype er/er. Terry could only receive the chromosome <em>er </em>from her mother, and because she is heterozygous for both genes the dominant alleles were both received from her father. Terri's genotype is ER/er.
The frequency of recombination is 4%, so 4% of the produced gametes will be recombinant. There are two possible recombinant gametes, so each will appear 2% of the times (a frequency of 0.02).
<u />
<u>Tom will produce the following gametes:</u>
- eR, parental (0.48)
- Er, parental (0.48)
- er, recombinant (0.02)
- ER (recombinant (0.02)
<u>Terri will produce the following gametes:</u>
- ER, parental (0.48)
- er, parental (0.48)
- Er, recombinant (0.02)
- eR, recombinant (0.02)
A child Rh- with elliptocytosis has the genotype rrE_. This can happen from the independent combination of the following gametes from Tom and Terri respectively:
- Er (0.48) × er (0.48) = 0.2304 Er/er
- Er (0.48) × Er (0.02) = 0.0096 Er/Er
- er (0.02) × Er (0.02) = 0.0004 er/Er
And the total probability of having a rrE_ child will be 0.2304 + 0.0096 + 0.0004 = 0.2404

Answer is : desert conditions
The most likely explanation, for this reason, may be that eukaryotic genes often incorporate introns while prokaryotic genes do not possess such a structural arrangement.
<h3>What do you mean by Gene?</h3>
A gene may be defined as a stretch of DNA that contains genetic information that assists in the production of functional protein.
The type of protein may change when there will be a change in the codons. A eukaryotic gene contains introns that are removed during splicing and the codon that codes for specific amino acid may form.
But in prokaryotic genes, no introns are there, and no splicing mechanism will occur, which leads to the formation of different codons, and finally, an alteration in protein may clearly be observed.
Therefore, the most likely explanation, for this reason, may be that eukaryotic genes often incorporate introns while prokaryotic genes do not possess such a structural arrangement.
