3) A human gene carries a certain disease from the mother to the child with a probability rate of 30%. That is, there is a 30% chance that the child becomes infected with the disease. Suppose a female carrier of the gene has five children. Assume that the infections of the five children are independent of one another. Find the probability that at least one of the children get the disease from their mother.

A human gene carries a certain disease from a mother to her child with a probability rate of 0.54. That is, there is a 54% chance that the child becomes infected with the disease. Suppose a female carrier of the gene has five children. Assume that the infections, or lack thereof, are independent of one another. Find the probability that all five of the children get the disease from their mother. Question 16 options: 0.024 0.954 0.046 0.021

A certain disease can be passed from a mother to her children. Given that the mother has the disease her children independently will have it with probability 1/2. Given that she doesn't have the disease, her children won't have it either. A certain mother, who has probability 1/3 of having the disease, has two children. (1) Find the probability that neither child has the disease. (2) Is whether the older child has the disease independent of whether the younger child...

is caused by a single gene that is located on the X chromosome. Because human females have two X c (XX), they have The disease two copies of this gene. Since hemophilia is recessive (h), a female must have two copies of the recessive allele to have the disease A human male (XY) on the other hand, has only one X chromosome, and so needs only one copy of the recessive allele to have the disease Complete the Punnett square...

Mendelian Genetics The gene involved in the disease Sickle Cell Anemia (SCA) is on human chromosome 11. Allele “A” is the normal form of the gene and codes for a part of the protein complex called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is required for your blood cells to carry oxygen. Allele “a” is an abnormal form of the gene. The hemoglobin protein made from the “a” allele is defective. Red blood cells containing the defective protein are very fragile. This disease is recessive–meaning...

As you may remember from basic biology, the human A/B/O blood type system is controlled by one gene for which 3 variants (“alleles”) are common in the human population – unsurprisingly called A, B, and O. As with most genes, everyone has 2 copies of this gene, one inherited from the mother and the other from the father, and everyone passes a randomly selected copy to each of their children (probability 1/2 for each copy, independently for each child). Focusing...

3. Sickle-cell disease is a genetic condition caused by an autosomal recessive allele which al- fects one in every 500 African American children born in the U.S. One in every ten African Americans is a carrier for the recessive allels. Although sickle cell disease is caused by a single human gene, it is expressed through many different effects throughout the body. The presence of a recessive sickle-cell allele in humans causes the red blood cells to produce abnormal hemoglobin protein...
