Answer:

The answer is 25%.

Explanation:

Hemophilia is a recessive illness that is x-linked.

If the husband has normal clotting ability, that means he has the dominant gene since he has only one X chromosome.

Since there is a probability that their child will have hemophilia, this means that the woman, who has 2 X chromosomes but has normal blood clotting abilities, has one dominant and one recessive hemophilia gene.

The probability that their first child will be a male is 50% and the probability that he will have hemophilia is also 50% since he will only get the Y chromosome from the father and the mother has one dominant and one recessive.

So the probability that their first child will be a son with hemophilia is 25%.

I hope this answer helps.

icang [17]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

The biological Edema refers to the swelling of any portion of the body which could be small or large. The swelling is caused when the fluid from the blood vessel is leaked to the nearby tissue which causes the redness also.

Edema is assessed by measuring the depth of the pit formed by swelling in which 4+ edema shows that the edema is very deep pitted (6-8mm) which could last for 2-5 minutes.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.
