Answer:

Explanation:

The huntington disease is a disease that is caused by the dominent allele. It is the disease which causes damage to the brain cell. The mother and father can be carrier or affected by the disease. As in the condition if both parents exhibit a hetrozygous condition that is both have a dominent as well as as a recessive allele responsible for the disease. Then there is 75% chances of occurence of disease in the child. If both parents are homozygous that is both have dominent alleles then 100% chances of occurrence of the disease.

Linda’s belief in her capabilities is known as self-efficacy.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The concept of self efficacy was proposed for the first time by psychologist Albert Bandura. According to him self –efficacy means the ability of a person to execute courses of action that  are  required to deal with prospective situations. Self-efficacy determines the power of a person to face challenging situations and the choices he or she makes in life.

An individual’s external experiences and self perception are crucial in the development of self-efficacy. People with high self-efficacy tend to give a try in mastering even the hardest tasks rather than trying to avoid them.

Huntington's disease is a hereditary ailment caused by a recessive gene. if both parents carry the gene but do not have the dise
serg [7]
Getting the probability for each event can easily be done using Punnett Square (say, Hh x Hh for the couple since they are both carriers of the disease). Doing so will result to: 0.25 probability of an offspring not having the disease and is not a carrier of the gene, 0.50 probability of an offspring not having the disease and is a carrier of the gene, and a 0.25 probability of an offspring having the disease. The probability of these events apply to each offspring, and will not depend on how many children they want to have. This means each offspring has a 0.25-0.50-0.25 chance of not being a carrier, being a carrier, and having the disease, respectively.
