Achondroplastic dwarfism is a dominant genetic trait that causes severe malformation of the skeleton. Homozygotes for this condi

tion are spontaneously aborted (hence, the homozygous condition is lethal) but heterozygotes will develop to be dwarfed. Matthew has a family history of the condition, although he does not express the trait. Jane is an achondroplastic dwarf.
Matthew and Jane are planning a family of several children and want to know the chances of producing a child with achondroplastic dwarfism. If three children are born to Matthew and Jane, what are the chances that the first two children will not express the trait but that the third child will be an achondroplastic dwarf.

Explanation:

A punnet square can be described as a diagram which is used to illustrate the results of a cross. As the condition described, Mathew does not have Achondroplastic dwarfism hence he will have recessive alleles, aa. Jane has the condition so she will have the allele Aa ( as the child with both AA is aborted). The punnet square for a cross between hem can be drawn as follows:

        a                 a

A    Aa                Aa

a      aa               aa

<em>There is 1/8 chance that the first two children will not express the trait but that the third child will be an achondroplastic dwarf.</em>

Neporo4naja [7]

I believe the answer is: self fulfilling prophecy

This often lead him to not making any efforts since he believes it pointless, which lead to self-fulfilling his initial opinion about himself.

What is an operational definition of a variable? how might the variable sense of humor be defined operationally?
IgorLugansk [536]

A "definition" is the given meaning of something, as we all know. The "operational" part refers to providing the meaning of something as it is used in a specific study. An operational definition in psychology, then, means defining the variable as it exists in the current study.

Operationally defining a variable entails transforming an abstract construct such as humor that cannot be directly observed into something that can be directly observed and measured. The majority of variables can be operationally defined in a variety of ways.

There are two types of variables : Extraneous variables, Situational variables.

A variable is something that can be changed or altered, such as a characteristic or value
