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%.

What type of cytokine stimulates blood cell production?.
Rashid [163]

IL-2 is one of many cytokines that govern the immune response. It acts as a mitogen for T cells, potentially enhancing their proliferation and activity, improving antigen generation, and raising the synthesis and release of other cytokines.

Imagine that a given species has a gene for hair color (B = dominant brown, b = recessive white) and a gene that controls hair l
serg [7]

Answer:

Phenotypes: All Brown Hair Color and All Short Hair Length

Genotypes:

Homozygous dominant hair color and  homozygous dominant hair length: (BBSS, BBSS, BBSS, BBSS).

Homozygous dominant hair color and heterozygous hair length: (BBSs, BBSs, BBSs, BBSs)

Heterozygous hair color and homozygous dominant hair length: (BbSS, BbSS, BbSS, BbSS)

Heterozygous hair colour and heterozygous hair length: (BbSs, BbSs, BbSs, BbSs)

Explanation:

Hair color :

B = dominant brown

b = recessive white

Hair length :

S = dominant short

s = recessive long

The dihybrid cross between parents with the genotypes:

BBSS × BbSs

If BBSS self crossed; we have the following traits= BS, BS, BS, BS

If BbSs self crossed; we have the following traits= BS, Bs, bS, bs

The dihybrid cross is as follows:

              BS                     BS                  BS                BS

BS          BBSS                BBSS            BBSS             BBSS        

Bs          BBSs                 BBSs            BBSs              BBSs

bS          BbSS                BbSS           BbSS              BbSS

bs          BbSs                 BbSs            BbSs              BbSs

Phenotypes = All Brown Hair Color and All Short Hair Length

Genotypes include:

Homozygous dominant hair color and  homozygous dominant hair length: (BBSS, BBSS, BBSS, BBSS).

Homozygous dominant hair color and heterozygous hair length: (BBSs, BBSs, BBSs, BBSs)

Heterozygous hair color and homozygous dominant hair length: (BbSS, BbSS, BbSS, BbSS)

Heterozygous hair colour and heterozygous hair length: (BbSs, BbSs, BbSs, BbSs)

What might happen if cells divide uncontrollably
Luba_88 [7]
<span>When cells divide uncontrollably, then there is a huge number of them and they take up most of the space in the body. Thus, lumps start to appear on and in a person's body, on organs and skin, and these lumps often represent cancer. So, uncontrollable division of cells can lead to cancer. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need additional help!</span>
