Deer ticks can carry both Lyme disease and human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE). In a study of ticks in the Midwest, it was fou

nd that 16% carried Lyme disease, 10% had HE, and that 10% of the ticks that had either Lyme disease or HGE carried both diseases.
(a) What is the probability that a tick carries both Lyme disease (L) and HE (H)?

(b) What is the conditional probability that a tick has HE given that it has Lyme disease?

Answer:

(a) 0.16

(b) 1

Explanation:

Let Probability that ticks in the Midwest carried Lyme disease, P(L) = 0.16

Probability that ticks in the Midwest carried HGE disease, P(H) = 0.10

Probability that ticks in the Midwest carried either Lyme disease or HGE disease, P(L \bigcup H) = 0.10

(a) Probability that a tick carries both Lyme disease (L) and HE (H) is given by

    P(L \bigcap H);

As we know that P(A \bigcup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \bigcap B)

So, in our question;

       P(L \bigcup H) = P(L) + P(H) - P(L \bigcap H)

        0.10 = 0.16 + 0.10 - P(L \bigcap H)

       P(L \bigcap H) = 0.16 + 0.10 - 0.10 = 0.16

Therefore, the probability that a tick carries both Lyme disease (L) and HE (H) is 0.16 or 16% .

(b) <em>Conditional Probability P(A/B) is given by</em> = \frac{P(A\bigcap B)}{P(B)}

So, the conditional probability that a tick has HE given that it has Lyme disease is given by = P(H/L)

    P(H/L) = \frac{P(H\bigcap L)}{P(L)} = \frac{0.16}{0.16} = 1 .

Which type of front is represented by this cross section?
Pani-rosa [81]

The type of front that is represented by this cross section is the occluded

<h3>What kind of front is an occluded front?</h3>

A warm air mass pushes on a cooler air mass (the warm front) and then another cold air mass pushes on the warmer air mass (the cold front). As cold fronts move faster, the cold front is likely to overtake the warm front. This is known as an occluded front.

With this information, we can conclude that the type of front that is represented by this cross section is the occluded.

1. Anaphase. In <span>Anaphase the sister chromatids separate from each other to the opposite sides of the cells.

2. </span>Chromosomes would not separate into two nuclei. <span>Mitosis is a process cell division, where one cell divides into two identical cells.
</span>
3. Metaphase I. <span>Meiosis prophase I is the phase in which chromosomal crossing over occurs. The phase after prophase I is metaphase I.

4. </span>Its body cells would have 36 chromosomes, and its gametes would have 18 chromosomes. <span>In the gametes, there are half of the number of chromosomes present in the body cell.

5. </span><span>A species has to adjust rapidly to a changing environment. To adjust to the environment, crossing over is necessary, and it does not occur in mitosis, but meiosis.

6. 50 percent. 
Parents:          Yy      x     yy
Offspring:    Yy    Yy    yy   yy
50 % is Yy  and 50% is yy.

7. </span><span>One parent had white eyes and the other was heterozygous for eye color. The ratio in the offspring is 50-50. The only possibility is the following:
Parents:       Rr     x     rr
Offspring   Rr    Rr   Rr   Rr

8. </span><span>Their fur will be a mixture of red and white hairs. The offspring will be heterozygous. They will have alleles for both red and white hairs and both will be expressed.
</span>
9. Not enough information.

10. <span>Both of the parents' genotype must have been Pp. The genotype of the white plant is pp since it is recessive:
Parents:        Pp     x     Pp
Offspring:   PP   Pp   Pp   pp
One of the four is white.</span>
