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 .

Alona [7]

Answer:

Your question is incomplete but supposing that the mother is a recessive allele and the father is dominant, we deduce that his daughter could have curly hair or else wavy hair that would be a combination of the two since both parents can incompletely dominate

Explanation:

The chances that your child has curly hair is 50%, that is, it would be the most likely, and also the genotype that you would need for this child to have curly hair would be: CC with CS or CC with CC

How is prophase, metaphase and anaphase of mitosis, meiosis I and meiosis II different or the same?
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The two main processes of cell division, meiosis and mitosis, have in common their main steps. In both cases the metaphase ( pairing of homologous chromosomes), anaphase (migration of chromosomes to the ends) and telophase (beginning of DNA decondensation and cell division) are very similar.

The greatest difference occurs in prophase I of the meiosis, which involves the process of recombination (cross over), resulting in variability in the gametes.

Another difference is that meiosis is a reductional process, where the final result of meiosis will be gamens with half of the genetic information, and in mitosis both cells will be equal.
