It draws a conclusion based on what would best explain one's observations.
Inference is the process where logical consequences evolve from premises that are assumed to be true. Knowledge backed with observations and reasoning as evidence is used to make conclusions. It is also referred to as an educated guess and is not necessarily factual.
Answer:
The correct answer is - 0.084
Explanation:
Sickle cell anemia is a autsmal recessive blood disorder of RBCs where RBC shape altered to the sickle shape or cresecent moon that obstruct and damage the veins and artries.
Normal allele is represented by - HbA - p
sickel cell allele is represented by - HbS - q
genotype frequency of normal allele HbA in the population = p2
genptype frequency of HbAHbS in the population = 2pq
genotype frequency of autosomal recessive HbS = q2 = 0.007 (given)
So, the allelic frequency of the recessive allele =
q = √ 0.007 = 0.08366 or 0.084
Answer No 1:
The set up of the punnet square is shown in the attached diagram. As the alleles assort independently hence the gametes formed will be OT,Ot,OT,Ot and OT,Ot,oT,ot. These will be the outcomes of the possible gametes formed. When these gametes are cross bred, the results are shown in the diagram attached.
Answer No 2:
The outcomes of each possible genotype are:
OOTT = 2/16
OOTt = 4/16
OOtt = 2/16
Oott = 2/16
OoTT = 2/16
OoTt = 4/16
Answer No 3:
The likelihood of each possible offspring phenotype is:
Orange petals with tall stem and orange petals with small stems present in ratio 12:4 i.e. 3:1.
