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.

3/16 0 normal

1/16 0 affected by the disease.

UNO [17]

Answer:

The skeletal system is vital in supporting the immune system because : Bones contain marrow, a porous material which creates both white and red blood cells. This replenishment of cells allows the body to fight and expel harmful bacteria, environmental toxins,  foreign material e.t.c.

The white blood cells formed by the marrow are instrumental in isolating and destroying harmful particles (either on the site or in lymph nodes), or transporting them to the kidneys or bowels for excretion.

NOTE : Some people have marrow disorders which prevent their marrow from forming new cells; this is caused most often by cancer. Today, it is possible to transplant marrow from a healthy individual to a sick patient, and so help their bone marrow form new white and red blood cells to fight their sickness.

I hope it helps :)

Determine the proportion of offspring phenotypes that would result when two merle dogs mate, if both dogs are heterozygous (Ll)
Brut [27]

Answer:

75% would have the dominant traits for coat length, 25% would have recessive trait for coat length.

Explanation:

After completing a punnet square, we could find that our genotypes are 25% LL, 50% Ll, and 25% ll.

If these genotypes were to be physically expressed, LL and Ll would both be expressed as showing the dominant trait.

This means that 75% would have the dominant traits for coat length and 25% would have recessive trait for coat length.

I hope this was helpful! Let me know if you need any clarity.
