Answer:

The answer to the given question is =7/8

Explanation:

In autosomal dominant traits, one copy of the affected gene is enough to cause the disease. Let ’A’ be the affected gene, ‘a’ be the non affected gene. Since IV-4’s parents are a couple of affected and non-affected. So, he has the genes Aa, i.e. a single affected gene.  

A a

a aA aa

a aA aa

Number of children affected=\frac{1}{2}

Number child affected out of three = (\frac {1}{2}) ^{3}

At least one child affected out of three = 1-P (number of children affected out of 3 )

                                                                      = 1-(1/2)^{3}

                                                                     = \frac{7}{8}  

So, the answer to the given question is 7/8

What happened to Bryson's heart beat and breathing rate as he pedaled uphill? Why? Please answer
elixir [45]

I am not sure because there may be more context, but here is what I am guessing the answer is.

As Bryson pedaled uphill both his heartbeat and breathing rate increased. His breathing rate increases to provide the body (more specifically, exercising muscles) with oxygen at a higher rate and his heart rate increases to deliver the oxygen (and glucose) to the respiring muscles more efficiently.
