Possession of a third breast is a rare recessive disorder. A man who has a third breast marries a woman who is a carrier of this unusual disorder. She, however, has a recessive disorder that results in excessive facial hair. Because the man and woman are first cousins, he is a carrier for the facial hair gene. What is the probability that the lovely couple’s first offspring will be hairy and have a third breast? What is the probability that the child will only have excessive facial hair? please include a punnett square

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.

It is estimated that 1% of the population has a certain genetic defect. A medical test is used to determine if people have this defect and, if a person has this defect, the test will correctly indicate this with probability 90%. However, if a person does not have this defect, the test will still indicate that he or she has the defect with probability 9.6%. If a person tests positive for this defect, what is the probability that the person actually has the defect? Express your answer, rounded to three decimal places, if necessary.
Only about 14% of Americans 65 years of age or older (senior citizens) catch influenza each year. About 24% of Americans under the age of 65 get influenza each year. In the general US population, about 12.5% of the people are 65 or older. What is the probability that a person selected at random from the general population is under the age of 65 and will catch influenza this year?
The television show Ghost Whistler has been successful for many years. That show recently had a share of 21, which means, that among the TV sets in use, 21% were tuned to Ghost Whistler. An advertiser wants to verify that 21% share value by conducting its own survey, and a pilot survey begins with 11 households have TV sets in use at the time of a Ghost Whistler broadcast.Find the probability that none of the households are tuned to Ghost Whistler.P(none) = Find the probability that at least one household is tuned to Ghost Whistler.P(at least one) = Find the probability that at most one household is tuned to Ghost Whistler.P(at most one) = If at most one household is tuned to Ghost Whistler, does it appear that the 21% share value is wrong? (Hint: Is the occurrence of at most one household tuned to Ghost Whistler unusual?) yes, it is wrong no, it is not wrong
Sickle-cell disease is a condition common in persons of African ancestry where red blood cells contain an abnormal type of hemoglobin. Individuals whose cells produce both normal and abnormal hemoglobin are said to have "sickle-cell trait" and they are generally healthy. If both parents have sickle-cell trait, then each of their children has probability 0.25 of having the actual disease. Suppose two parents with sickle-cell trait have three children. Identify the exact probabilities in this interim table of all possible outcomes and in the probability distribution table for X, where N denotes no sickle-cell disease and D denotes sickle-cell disease. (Round your answers to six decimal places.) Outcome X Probability NNN 0 0 1 2 NND 1 3 NDN 1 DNN 1 NDD DND DDN X Probability NN 2 DDD 3

A couple decides to have children. Both the mother and father are normally pigmented but are carriers of the recessive gene for albinism. Considering that the chance of the mother giving birth to a girl is 0.48 and for a boy is 0.52, what is the probability that the couple will have 1 normally pigmented boy, 2 albino girls, and 2 albino boys in any order?
