Answer: C on edge
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Maternal gene = 0.25; Paternal gene = 0.25
Probability having a birth defect = 0.25 X 0.25 = 0.625
b) P(A) = 0.30; P(B) = 0.70
P(A)*P(B) = 0.30 X 0.70 = 0.021
For marriage:
25%: P(A)*P(A)*0.25 = 0.09 X 0.25 = 0.0225
65%: P(B)*P(B)*0.65 = 0.049 X 0.65 = 0.03185
10%: P(A)*0.10 = 0.03 and P(B)*0.10 = 0.07
P(A)*P(B) = 0.03 X 0.07 = 0.0021
Probability of a defect birth in the next generation = 0.0225 + 0.03185 + 0.0021 = 0.05645
c) 1. P(A)*P(A) = 0.09
2. P(B)*P(B) = 0.049
3. P(A)*P(B) = 0.021
The square root of 1/9 is 1/3 and it is a Rational Number.
