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%.
Answer:
y is greater than or equal to 14
Step-by-step explanation:
40 Why? 80%x X=50 or 80/100x X=50
Answer:
The roots are;
x = (2 + i)/5 or (2-i)/5
where the term i is the complex number representing the square root of -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to use the completing the square method to solve the quadratic equation;
f(x) = -5x^2 + 4x -1
Set the function to zero
0 = -5x^2 + 4x - 1
So;
-5x^2 + 4x = 1
divide through by the coefficient of x which is -5
x^2 - 4/5x = -1/5
We now take half of the coefficient of x and square it
= -2/5^2 = 4/25
add it to both sides
x^2 - 4x/5 + 4/25= -1/5 + 4/25
(x- 2/5)^2 = -1/5 + 4/25
(x - 2/5)^2 = -1/25
Take the square root of both sides
x - 2/5 = √( -1/25
x - 2/5 = +i/5 or -i/5
x = 2/5 + i/5 or 2/5 - i/5
1.92/4 then you take that which is .48 and do .48/16 to get .03
