Answer from: levigabehart

Answer:

The possible genotypes of the children are Hh and hh.The probability of genotype Hh = 1/2The probability of genotype hh = 1/2

Explanation:

Autosomal genes are the genes present on any of the chromosomes except the sex chromosomes.An autosomal recessive mutation is the mutation in an autosomal gene which only expresses itself in the phenotype in homozygous condition and affects both males and female equally. For the given question, let the autosomal gene be represented by H (dominant) and h (recessive)According to the question,

Since the mother is homozygous her genotype would be hh and the father is heterozygous so his genotype would be Hh.

The following cross is made to know the genotypes of the children :

hh X Hh--------> Hh Hh hh hh

So the possible genotypes of the children are Hh and hh as shown in the cross.

Note : An image is attached representing the cross in a Punnett square.

The probability of an event = No. of favourable outcomes/total no. of outcomes

The probability of occurrence of genotype Hh would be = 2/4 = 1/2

Similarly, the probability of occurrence of genotype hh would be 2/4 = 1/2

Answer from: Quest

you didn't give any options but heres what i can tell you: an inference is likely to change based on additional observations. the latter is something that you have seen or sensed using your sensory organs while the former is like a conclusion out from what you have observed.
