Sickle cell anemia and albinism are both recessive traits in humans. The genes for these traits are located on different chromos

omes. Imagine that a couple, already pregnant with twins, has just learned that they are both heterozygous for both of these traits. As the couple's genetic counselor, the couple asks you the following questions about how their carrier status will affect their offspring.
If the couple has fraternal twins, what is the probability that both children will be unaffected by both conditions?

Answer:

Given that, both parents are heterozygous. Now, the chances for one child to inherit one defective gene from each parent = ½*1/2 =¼.

Similarly, the probability of being affected by albinism =Probability of inheriting one defective gene from each parent = ½*½ = ¼

The probability of not being affected = 1- the probability of being affected = 1-1/4 = ¾.

Now, the chances of not being affected by both albinism and sickle cell anemia = ¾*3/4 = 9/16.

The probability of neither twins be affected = 9/16*9/16 =81/256.

Which type of cell is most likely to have the most mitochondria? muscle cells in the legs of a marathon runner nondividing cells
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

muscle cells in the legs of a marathon runner

Explanation:

Mitochondria are the powerhouse of cells and serve as a site for the aerobic stage of cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is complete oxidation of nutrients in the presence of oxygen to produce a large number of ATP molecules. Therefore, the cells that require more ATP molecules as an energy source would most likely have a greater number of mitochondria.

Muscle cells are responsible for body movement. Muscle cells in the legs of a runner would require a constant supply of ATP during running since muscle contraction requires ATP. To sustain the continuous muscle contraction during the marathon, the muscle cells in the legs of the runner would have most number of mitochondria.

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:The Null hypothesis state that the mean hemoglobin level for all the children in Jordan is 12g/dl.

While the Alternative Hypothesis state that the mean hemoglobin level for all the children in Jordan is less than 12g/dl

Explanation:

The Null hypothesis H0: This is the hypothesis that state that there is no statistical difference between the two variables in the hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that the researcher is work to nullify.

The Alternative hypothesis H1: This is the hypothesis that states there is a statistically difference between two variables.
