<h3>
NEUTRONS AND PROTONS</h3>
The nucleus is a collection of particles called protons, which are positively charged, and neutrons, which are electrically neutral. Protons and neutrons are in turn made up of particles called quarks. The chemical element of an atom is determined by the number of protons, or the atomic number, Z, of the nucleus.
Answer:
The chance of having a Child who is a Heterozygote is 50% , The chance of having a child that will completely come down with Alpers syndrome is 0%
Explanation:
Jack has a history of Alpers in his family
Jill has no history
lets assume Jack is a carrier : Ab ( because that is how he could have survived the first 10 lethal years )
Jill : AA
Therefore the probability/chance of Jack and Jill having a child with Alpers ( carrier ) syndrome will be 50 % as shown below
AA * Ab = AA , Ab, AA, Ab
The child produced by Jack and Jill will only be a carrier of the syndrome and not completely affected by the syndrome
They are joined together by a common centromere.
