Write your answer as a fraction or a decimal, rounded to four decimal places. Gene Dominant Recessive Gene Dominant Recessive (a) What is the probability that in a randomly sampled individual, gene is recessive

Answer 1

Complete question:

A geneticist is studying two genes. each gene can be either dominant or recessive. a sample of 100 individuals is categorized as follows.

                                         gene 2

                            dominant     recessive

gene 1

dominant                    56                24

recessive                   14                  6

(a) what is the probability that a random sampled individual, gene 1 is dominant

(b) what is the probability that a random sampled individual, gene 2 is dominant

(c) given that gene 1 is dominant, what is the probability that gene 2 is dominant

Answer:

(a) what is the probability that a randomly sampled individual, gene 1 is dominant ---> 80%

(b) what is the probability that a randomly sampled individual, gene 2 is dominant ----> 70%

(c) given that gene 1 is dominant, what is the probability that gene 2 is dominant ----> 70%
