Answer from: AviMali

The correct answer would be 1/32

Explanation:

Mary and Justin can have affected child only when both of them are carriers that is, both of them should be Gg.

The probability of Justin's father to be a carrier is 2/4 or 1/2 [1 GG: 2Gg: 1gg].

Similarly, the probability of Jean to be a carrier would be 1/2.

Thus, the probability of Justin and his father to be a carrier would be equal to 1/2*1/2 ⇒ 1/4.

The probability of Mary to be a carrier = 1/2.

So, the probability of Mary and Justin to be the carrier of the disease would be 1/2*1/4 = 1/8.

Now, the probability of having an affected child would be 1/4 as it is a recessive disorder.

So, the probability of Mary and Justin to have an affected child = 1/4 * 1/8 ⇒ 1/32

Answer from: joshuahagerman1404

The probability of Justin and Mary having an affected child will be 1/16.

Further Explanation:

The genotype of the Justin grandparents will be Gg ×Gg

The expected probability of their children will be 1/4GG, 1/2Gg, and 1/4gg.

So, the chance of Justin’s father getting a heterozygote is fifty percent or1/2 Gg. The possibility of having an affected child increases if Justin’s father has a Gg genotype.

So, Justin’s father is a heterozygote.

Justin’s parents’ genotype will be: GG × Gg

The probability of their children will be: 1/2GG, 1/2Gg

The genotype of Mary’s parent will be: Gg × Gg

The probability of their parent will be: 1/4GG, 1/2Gg, and 1/4gg

There is a maximum probability of having an affected child if both Justin and Mary have heterozygote genotype.

Justin × Mary

Gg × Gg

The probability of their children will be: ¼ GG, ½ Gg, ¼ gg

The probability that Mary is affected is fifty percent (Gg). Similarly, the probability of Justin is affected by fifty percent (Gg).

Therefore, the total probability of Justin and Mary have the affected children will be 1/16.

One of the newest applications of cell technology is called cybrid embryos. this process involves replacing the nuclear material of an animal cell with human nuclear material. how might this process affect public policies about research by using stem cells? the same policies and concerns about the use of human embryonic stem cells would most likely apply. the embryos would most likely be treated like traditional animal embryos and regulated accordingly. the process of forming cybrid embryos would most likely be banned by government regulators. the embryos would be treated as regular cells because they are not fully human in origin.
