Answer:
The correct answer to the question: If neither you nor your spouse has either albinism or cystic fibrosis, what are the odds that your first child will have both albinism and cystic fibrosis, would be: 1 in 16.
Explanation:
The topic of genetics, and especially ineritance of traits, whether from parents, or grandparents, or anyone directly linked to your line, is a pretty complex one and it depends entirely on two factors: chromosomal dominance and recessiveness, and the probability combinations that arise from crossing these. Essentially, in this case, both you and your partner have directly inherited the genes for both albinism and CF, but these have not been dominant in you, but recessive, for both conditions. The odds of a child of yours receiving and actually displaying the traits for both albinism and CF will depend entirely on the crossing of genetical material, dominant and recessive chromosomes from both you and your partner. Even though albinism and CF are recessive traits, they can become the feature that will be displayed on your child by combination and probability. This probability in this case gives 1/16.
1. ANSWER: The Code of Hammurabi
Hammurabi set up the "Code of Hammurabi" with 282 laws and where the famous phrase "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" came from. Although this code is actually more complex and less sinister-sounding than the phrase (which is not a direct quote, by the way), this legal system is meant to protect everyone abused, offering just compensation to everyone harmed.
In this system though, the accuser has to be the one to bring the accused to trial.
2. ANSWER: He wants to protect the abused.
Since Hammurabi was ruling a very diverse set of people, he set out to find a set of universal laws to govern everyone. He tapped legal experts to collect previously existing laws and examine them until he formed the Code with 282 laws.
Quoting Hammurabi directly, he said that he set out these laws "to make justice visible in the land, to destroy the wicked person and the evil-doer, that the strong might not injure the weak."
3. ANSWER: The laws influenced future cultures.
The Code of Hammurabi is often attributed as the first set of written laws to be uncovered. Although this may not be the case as there are older laws that were uncovered, being recognized as the first set of written laws often led leaders of future cultures to adopt the system, making these leaders lead the way Hammurabi led.
Answer:
This statement is true.
Explanation:
The statement that "The more collateral there is backing a loan, the less the lender has to worry about adverse selection" is true because collateral reduces the adverse selection problem.
