Genetic Inheritance: Calculate probability of two children having the same genotype for achrondoplasia Achondroplasia is a commo

n form of dwarfism caused by autosomal dominant mutation in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (Fgfr3) gene. If a person with achondroplasia (Aa) married and had children with a person of normal height, what is the probability that both their first child and second child would have achondroplasia?

Answer:

The correct answer is - 1/2 or 50% for first and second child to be affected.

Step-by-step explanation:

Achondroplasia is an autosomal dominant disorder. Autosomal dominant disorder refers to the presence of a single copy of the defective gene that is enough to lead to dwarfness.

A cross of achondroplasia (Aa) parent to a person of normal height (aa) result in half of their children will be affected with dwarfism and the other half will be normal.

a  cross between affected or dwarf  and normal parent

     Aa X aa

Punnett square:

         a a

A  Aa Aa

a aa aa

Aa- dwarfness

aa- normal height

The probability that both their first child and second child would have achondroplasia is

2/4 =1/2 or 50%.

A. The relationship of <7 and <8 are that they are vertical angles, and are congruent.

B. Since vertical angles are congruent, you can form an equation where the two measurements equal each other. 

C. 5y-29=3y+19       then plug y into your equation: 5*24-29=91
    2y=48                   and so: <7 = 180-91=89 (and since <8 is congruent)
    y=24                     <8 also equals 89

Your second problem: 
complementary are two angles that add up to 90 degrees.
<B=x, <A=2x
2x+x=90
3x=90
x=30       so: <B=30 degrees, <A=60 degrees

Your third problem:
1. Since A and B are parallel, angle 3x+7 and angle 4x+5 are same-sided exterior angles. That means that they both add up to 180 degrees. So if you should add the two and make it equal 180
2. 3x+7+4x+5=180
    7x+12=180
    7x=168
    x=24
3. <6 is a corresponding angle with angle 3x+7, meaning that they are congruent. So plug x into 3x+7: 3*24+7=79 and since <6 is congruent to 3x+7, <6=79 degrees

Find an equation of the plane. the plane through the point (−5, 9, 10) and perpendicular to the line x = 1 + t, y = 4t, z = 2 −
PtichkaEL [24]
The direction vector of the line
L: x=1+t, y=4t, z=2-3t
is <1,4,-3>
which is also the required normal vector of the plane.

Since the plane passes through point (-5,9,10), the required plane is :
&Pi; 1(x-(-5)+4(y-9)-3(z-10)=0
=>
&Pi; x+4y-3z=1
