Huntington's disease is an autosomal dominant trait. Given the pedigree below, if individual IV-4 has three children with a norm

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

The magnets point North when the Earth's magnetic field has (p2)<br><br>need some help :)​

<h2><u>EARTH'S MAGNETIC FIELD</u></h2>

The magnets point North when the Earth's magnetic field has?

<h2><u>ANSWER</u></h2>

I think the best answer for this question is Magnetic Reversal or Geomagnetic Reversal.

In geomagnetism, the term "geomagnetic reversal" also known as 'flip', is the process by which the North pole becomes South pole and the South pole transforms into North pole.

<h2><u>THE MAGNETIC REVERSAL</u></h2>

The reversals happen on rare occasions when iron molecules start moving towards the opposite direction as other iron molecules around them within the Earth's spinning outer core.

What is the relationship between emerging scientific ideas and open-mindedness?
il63 [147K]
Open-mindedness is needed for the emerging scientific ideas to be accepted (or : to not be rejected without consideration).

Additionally, open-mindedness as a attitude often leads to new scientific ideas emerging: it means that people are more comfortable to try out new things and to test new hypotheses.

You have identified two mutants with same phenotype.
algol13

Answer:

No, there are multiple ways in which different mutations in the same gene can cause the same phenotype

Explanation:

Several different mechanisms of mutation can lead to the same phenotype. For example, lets say our phenotype is that flies have white eyes, and we know that this occurs in one particular gene that normally makes the eye colour red. (the red gene)

These mutations likely rendered the red gene ineffective (as the eyes are not red). However, this could happen in a variety of ways.

  • There could be a single base deletion in the first exon of the mRNA, changing the reading frame of the protein and messing up the entire sequence (a frame shift mutations)
  • The entire gene could be deleted
  • A single base could be substituted in an important site of the gene, for example, one which translates into a catalytic residue or binding site in the protein
  • There could be an inversion at the promoter region of the gene, such that a transcription factor can no longer bind to transcribe the gene.

There are countless other ways in which a mutation could have been caused. Therefore, just because we know the same gene is affected does not mean that we can assume the mutations are identical.
