Imagine that a newly discovered, recessively inherited disease is expressed only in individuals with type O blood, although the

disease and blood group are independently inherited. A normal man with type A blood and a normal woman with type B blood have already had one child with the disease. The woman is now pregnant for a second time. Assuming that both parents are heterozygous for the gene that causes the disease? Assume that both parents are heterozygous for the gene that causes the disease. Enter your answer as a fraction - e.g. 1/2 - and do not put anything else in the box.

Complete question:

Imagine that a newly discovered, recessively inherited disease is expressed only in individuals with type O blood, although the disease and blood group are independently inherited.

A normal man with type A blood and a normal woman with type B blood have already had one child with the disease. The woman is now pregnant for a second time.

Assuming that both parents are heterozygous for the gene that causes the disease, what is the probability that the second child will also have the disease? Express your answer as a fraction using the slash symbol and no spaces (for example, 1/2).

Answer:

The probability that the second child will also have the disease is 1/16.

Explanation:

<u>Available data:</u>

  • Two genes independently inherited: one for blood type, the other for disease
  • Man with type A blood  x  Woman with type B blood
  • Both parents are heterozygous for the gene that causes the disease; Dd

If the man has A blood, and the woman has B blood, and they already have an affected child, this means that they must be heterozygous for blood type too.

9. Knowing what you know about how a substance travels in
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Higher

Explanation:

Molecules such as oxygen move from a higher concentration to a lower concentration across a semi-permeable membrane. This process is called simple diffusion.

Therefore, for oxygen to leave the alveoli and enter the blood, there would need to be a higher concentration of oxygen inside the alveoli and a lower concentration of oxygen in the blood.
