Answer:

a. 1/4 chance of occurring

b. 81/256

c. 3/4

d.  0.26

Explanation:

X-linked recessive inheritance is a pattern of inheritance in which a mutation in a gene on the X chromosome causes the phenotype to always get expressed in males (they have one X and one Y chromosome with mutation on the X) and in females who are homozygous for the gene mutation (mutation on both X chromosomes).

Indicating the mutation with h and the normal allele with H.Thus, if a heterozygous woman (XHXh) and an unaffected man (XHY). we have:

                   (XHXh)             x             (XHY)

           XHXH     XHXh           XHY                 XhY

             normal female      normal male   affected male

                      0.5                     0.25                 0.25

                        1/2                     1/4                      1/4

a. 1/4

b. Each unaffected offspring has 3/4 chance of occuring: four unffected - 3/4 x 3/4 x 3/4 x 3/4 = 81/256

c. 1/2 + 1/4 = 3/4

d. The probability of an unaffected offspring is 3/4. Here, the binomial expansion equation (where x = 2, n = 5, p = 1/4, and q = 3/4). The answer is 0.26, or 26%, of the time. probability of affected is 1/4. Thus, using this

P(x) = (⁵₂) pˣ (1 - p)ⁿ⁻ˣ =

  =   (⁵₂) (1/4)² (3/4)³  =

  = 5!/3!2! (0.0625) (0.4219) =

  =     10 (0.026)

  =       0.26

Answer:

<h2>a) 1/4</h2><h2>b) 81/256</h2><h2>c) 3/4</h2><h2>d) 0.26</h2>

Explanation:

Given

Heterozygous female = X*X ( X* is mutated gene);

unaffected male= XY;

so children are  X*X, X*Y, XX, XY

now

a) affected son;  genotype (X*Y),  (1/4) 1 son is affected from 2 sons and from four  total children.

b)Four unaffected offspring in a row= 81/256

c) 3/4  (X*X, XX, XY) are unaffected children,

d)  The probability of an affected offspring is 0.25,  and here the probability of an unaffected offspring is 3/4.

now use the binomial expansion equation for this;

So, two out of five offspring that are affected= 0.26, or 26%.

Then the correct answer would be C - parents who are heavily invested in their children may suffer from a decline in marital satisfaction after children have left home. This also makes sense; they've been parents and not husband and wife. For that reason, following the child's departure, they're not sure what to do with themselves.</span></span></span>

Why is carbon important
nevsk [136]
Carbon is very important because Trees take it (Co2) in in order for oxygen to be produced.

All plants for the most part take in Co2 so that they can produce oxygen,
and we need that oxygen to live , to pump blood into our lungs so we can roam around.

It is basically one of the main components of our every day life on Earth.

I really hope this helps you a lot.

How does antibiotic resistance arise? how do hospitals and feedlots contribute to this phenomenon?
Stella [2.4K]
<span>Antibiotic resistance arises due to the evolution of the organisms they are designed to destroy. Subsequent generations of such organisms develop resistance to the antibiotic. Hospitals' overuse of antibiotics quickens the process, as does the administration of antibiotics to feedlot cattle, whose meat is consumed by people.</span>
