People with albinism have little pigment in their skin, hair, and eyes. The gene that governs albinism has two forms (called alleles), which we denote by a and A. Each person has a pair of these genes, one inherited from each parent. A child inherits one of each parent's two alleles independently with probability 0.5. Albinism is a recessive trait, so a person is albino only if the inherited pair is aa.
a. Beth’s parents are not albino, but she has an albino brother. This implies that both of Beth’s parts have type Aa. Why?b. Which of the type aa, Aa, AA could a child of Beth’s parents have? What is the probability of each type?c. Beth is not albino. What are the conditional probabilities for Beth’s possible genetic types, given this fact?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a)

If Beth’s parents are not albino, but she has an albino brother (aa), then each parent must have the allele a. In order for someone who is not albino to be able to have an albino child of albinism, they must have type Aa.

b)

P(AA) = 0.5(0.5) = 1/4  CHANCE

P(Aa) = 0.5(0.5) = 1/4  CHANCE

P(aa) = 0.5(0.5) = 1/4   CHANCE

c)

the new probabilities are:

P(AA | not aa) = 1/3  

P(Aa | not aa) = 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

   Given the data in the question;

a) Beth’s parents are not albino, but she has an albino brother. This implies that both of Beth’s parts have type Aa. Why?

If Beth’s parents are not albino, but she has an albino brother (aa), then each parent must have the allele a. In order for someone who is not albino to be able to have an albino child of albinism, they must have type Aa.

To be fully albino you must be aa and must also have at least one a as well as have a child with someone who also has has at least a.

b) Which of the type aa, Aa, AA could a child of Beth’s parents have? What is the probability of each type?

                             A                 a

A                         AA                Aa

a                         aA                 aa

so, Since each type is equally likely, and each is inherited independently of each other then,

P(AA) = 0.5(0.5) = 1/4  CHANCE

P(Aa) = 0.5(0.5) = 1/4  CHANCE

P(aa) = 0.5(0.5) = 1/4   CHANCE

c) Beth is not albino. What are the conditional probabilities for Beth’s possible genetic types, given this fact?

First we rule out aa, since Beth is not an Albino.

the new probabilities are:

P(AA | not aa) = 1/3  

P(Aa | not aa) = 2/3

Hillary and her friends are trying to decide whether to go bowling or to a movie. Which method could they use to fairly decide which activity they
will do?
A.Flip a coin twice. If the coin lands on heads both times, they will go bowling. If it doesn't, they will go to a movie.
B.Flip a coin twice. If the coin lands on heads one time and tails one time, they will go bowling. If it doesn't, they will go to a
movie.
C.Flip a coin three times. If the coin lands on tails all three times, they will go to a movie. If it doesn't, they will go bowling.
D.Flip a coin three times. If the coin lands on heads twice and tails once, they will go to a movie. If it doesn't, they will go bowling.

Answers

Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

I would have to say D is the best answer since then it's truly based on luck and it's almost as if it's being flipped once

Hillary and her friends could flip a coin twice to fairly decide which activity they will do. If the coin lands on heads one time and tails one time, they will go bowling. If it doesn't, they will go to a movie.

What is probability?

Probability is the ratio that shows the likelihood of an event occurring out of all the other possible events.

Hillary and her friends need to use a fair method to determine which activity to do. For this, the probability should be 1/2. We should observe the given options and find which is the fairer method.

In the case of option A, the probability of that event occurring is 1/4.In the case of option B, the probability of that event occurring is 1/2.In the case of option C, the probability of that event occurring is 1/8.In the case of option D, the probability of that event occurring is 3/8. We can see that Option B is the only event having a probability of 1/2.

Therefore, Hillary and her friends could flip a coin twice to fairly decide which activity they will do. If the coin lands on heads one time and tails one time, they will go bowling. If it doesn't, they will go to a movie. The correct answer is Option B.

The average of 15 test scores is 80. If the average of first eight test scores is 65 and that of the last eight test scores is 70, then the eighth score is 80.

True or False?

Answers

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The average of 15 test scores is 80.

The total is:

15*80 = 1200

The average of first eight test scores is 65.

The total is:

8*65 = 520

The average of last eight test scores is 70.

The total minus 8th score is:

8*70 - 80 = 480

The sum gives us the total of 15 scores:

520 + 480 = 1000 < 1200

hi pls help me in math im soo stuck:(((plss​

Answers

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

a. First, find the value of a.

Sum of the interior angles of a triangle = 180° (triangle sum theorem)

Therefore:

3a + 2a + a = 180°

Add like terms

6a = 180°

6a/6 = 180/6

a = 30

Thus:

a = 30°

2a = 2(30) = 60°

3a = 3(30) = 90°

b. The triangle is an isosceles triangle because it has two sides that are indicated to be equal. This also implies that the angels opposite each of the equal sides are also congruent to each other.

Therefore, sum of the isosceles triangle would be:

2(2x) + 5x = 180°

4x + 5x = 180

9x = 180

9x/9 = 180/9

x = 20

Thus:

2x = 2(20) = 40

5x = 5(20) = 100

Hi there!

[tex]\large\boxed{(5,8) \text{ and } (1.2, -2.78)}}[/tex]

We are given the equation:

x² - 2y = 7

To verify if each ordered pair is apart of the function, we can plug in their respective x and y values:

1. (5)² - 2(8) = 7

25 - 16 = 9 ≠ 7. This is NOT correct.

2. (-1)² - 2(-3) = 7

1 + 6 = 7. This is correct.

3. (-4)² - 2(-11.5) = 7

16 + 23 = 39 ≠ 7. This is NOT correct.

4. (1.2)² - 2(-2.78) = 7

1.44 +5.56 = 7. This is correct.

Thus, only 1 and 4 are the correct answers.

No yes no yes

Rohan bought an almirah for Rs 15,600 and spent Rs 400 on its transportation. The total C.P is __________

Answers

From the question,

Rohan bought an almirah for =Rs.13600= cost price

Transportation cost =Rs.400

The total cost price of almirah =Rs.(13600+400)

The total cost price of almirah =Rs.(13600+400)=Rs.14000

He sold it for =Rs.16800= selling price

By comparing SP and CP=SP>CP, so there is a gain

Gain=SP−CP

=16800−14000

=Rs.2800
