An autosomal disorder can be caused by a single abnormal gene on one of the first 22 nonsex chromosomes of either parent. So a parent with an autosomal dominant condition (as is the case with Destiny) has a 50% chance of passing that condition to a child.

This number remains the same for each subsequent pregnancy.

Alona [7]

A loaded question is a question that has buried word elements that make references to universal beliefs.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

When a question is born out of assumptions, not facts, it can be termed as a loaded question. Here in this question 'universal beliefs' refer to these assumptions that are made well in advance without going much into the depth of the truth.

natulia [17]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Concordance: This is a term used in genetics. This term is used to imply the presence of the same trait/characteristic in both the members of a pair of twins.

Twins can be of 2 types. They are monozygotic twins and Dizygotic twins.Monozygotic twins are identical twins, i.e. they are formed from one zygote that later splits into two forming two embryos.

Dizygotic twins are non-identical twins or fraternal twins formed from the fertilization of two different eggs with two different sperm cells.

Concordance values can be calculated as:

C = Number of concordance pairs/(number of concordant pairs + number of discordant pairs)

Monozygotic twins generally have a concordance value of 44% for a specific trait.

Dizygotic twins have a concordance value of less than 5 % for a trait.

For identical twins the number of concordant pairs would be 50 out of 100.concordant pair would be

For non-identical twins, the number of concordant pair would be 17 out of 100.

For a recessive trait to be expressed, both the parents should be heterozygous for that trait.

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:Selection bias

Explanation:Selection bias refers to selecting individuals in a way that a proper randomisation is not achieved which makes the result not representative of the whole population. This is also called selection effect.This usually occurs when a researcher chooses only participants that will support the idea he has in mind about the variable of interest that they are researching. For example if someone is researching the effect of healthy food on particular population but instead of selecting participants randomly, a researcher goes to a health food market ,vegetable places and gyms. Then a researcher ends up concluding that healthy eating is crucial within this population.

This is wrong because a researcher only chose places that were convenient to this research.
