Question

Genetics: A geneticist is studying two genes. Each gene can be either dominant or recessive. A sample of 100 individuals is categorized as follows. Write your answer as a fraction or a decimal, rounded to four decimal places. Gene 2 Dominant Recessive Dominant 52 20 Gene 1 Recessive 19 9 Send data (a) What is the probability that in a randomly sampled individual, gene 1 is recessive? (b) What is the probability that a randomly sampled individual, gene 2 is recessive? (c) Given that gene 1 is recessive, what is the probability that gene 2 is recessive? (d) Two genes are said to be in linkage equilibrium if the event that gene 1 is recessive is independent of the event that gene 2 is recessive. Are these genes in linkage equilibrium? Part 1 of 4 The probability that genel is recessive in a randomly sampled individual is 0.28 Part: 1/4 Part 2 of 4 The probability that gene 2 is recessive in a randomly sampled individual is

Answer 1

Hello

Part 1

$The \ required \ probability = \frac{19+9}{19+9+52+20}=0.28=28\%$

Part 2

$The \ required \ probability = \frac{20+9}{19+9+52+20}=0.29=29\%$

Part 3

$The \ required \ probability = \frac{9}{19+9}=0.3214$
