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%.

Express the following linear equations in the form ax+by+c= 0 and indicate the values of a, b and c in each case: (1) y = x/5​
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Did the question get cut off?

a = -(1/5)

b = 1

c = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x/5 may be rewritten as y = (1/5)x

y = (1/5)x

y - (1/5)x = 0

- (1/5)x + y + 0 = 0

   ax  +   by   + c = 0

a = -(1/5)

b = 1

c = 0

Find the perimeter of the figure
SashulF [63]
To solve this, find the rest of the sides:

The other sides are:

1. 24 - 8 = 16
2. 23 - 9 = 14

Next, just add it up:

24 + 9 + 16 + 14 + 8 + 23 = 33 + 30 + 31 = 94

I need help with this
Assoli18 [71]
On a given line, (on one side) there are a total of 180°

if one line in Problem #3 is bisected by a line, with one half X and the other 120°,

do 180° (the total) minus 120° which=60°

now the hard part, that line that bisected the first line is bisecting a line that is parallel to your second line, the one with <5 and <6

this means that the big angle formed in the first one with 120° is the same angle as in the second line, leaving <5 as 120°
which means <6 is 60°, like in the top part of the problem. You're basically flipping the top line upside down, I hope it helps.

I need help with the last two !!!
Dmitriy789 [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

G(x) = - x^2 + 10x

a + G(a) = a - a^2 + 10a = - a^2 + 11a or 11a - a^2 or a(11 - a)

1/G(a) = 1/(10a - a^2) = 1/a(10 - a)
