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%.

almond37 [142]

The correct answer is - D) covered by warm shallow seas.

The fact that the crinoids are have an abundance in the fossil records in Pennsylvania in the Mississippian Period, tells us that this area was covered with shallow and warm seas. The reason why we can get that conclusion is that the crinoids live only in that kind of environment, so it simply a logical conclusion.

The geological data is also confirming this, as it is easily noticeable in the layers that during this period of the geologic past, what is now Pennsylvania, was covered with shallow sea waters. Also, this waters were warm too, as the climate was warm and humid and that period, so it was a perfect environment for the crinoids to flourish.
