A 25-year-old woman who recently underwent genetic testing has just learned that she is heterozygous dominant for Huntington dis

ease. Her husband, however, who also underwent the testing, is free from the trait. What are the odds that the couple will have a child who will inherit the disorder?

Answer:

The odd is zero.

Explanation:

Assuming the Huntington disease allele is represent by b. Nomal allele will be B which is the alternate form.

The genotype of the 25 years old woman will be Bb, since she heterozygote.

The genotype of the husband will be BB, since he's free from the trait.

Crossing both genotypes:

 Bb   x   BB = BB, BB, Bb and Bb.

The genotypes of the offspring will be either BB or Bb. They either free from the trait or heterozygote.

<em>Hence, the odds that the couple will have a child with the disorder is 0. They can only produce heterozygotes or totally normal children.</em>

Translate the word phrase into an algebraic equation: the quotient of 24 and 2 is equal to 12.
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

24/2 = 12

Explanation:

(I'm pretty sure this isn't a Biology question, but I'll answer this because I'm nice.)

To translate English into algebriac equations, we have to understand what the symbols in algebra mean. Here are some we should know:

= : "equal to", "is", "equivalent to", etc.

> : "greater than"

< : "less than"

>= : "greater than or equal to", "at least"

<= : "less than or equal to", "at most"

We also have to know basic math operations:

a + b : "a added to b", "a plus b", "a combined with b", "a more than b", etc.

a - b : "a minus b", "b less than a", "b subtracted from a", etc.

a * b : "a multiplied by b", "a times b", "the product of a and b", etc.

a / b : "the quotient of a and b", "a divided by b", etc.

There are MUCH MORE examples of this, yet it becomes second-nature to change English sentences into algebra.

So, let's tackle the question. Sadly, it's pretty simple, so I won't really go in depth here. Since the quotient of a and b is a/b, the quotient of 24 and 2 is 24/2. We can also say that "is equal to 12" is "= 12". So,

24/2 = 12.
