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%.

Define cell transport
katrin [286]

Cell transport is movement of materials across cell membranes. Cell transport includes passive and active transport. Passive transport does not require energy whereas active transport requires energy to proceed. Passive transport proceeds through diffusion, facilitated diffusion and osmosis. The purpose of the transport proteins is to protect the cell's internal environment and to keep its balance of salts, nutrients, and proteins within a range that keeps the cell and the organism alive.
