Chapter 2, Problem 15P
In a standard deck of playing cards, four suits exist (red suits = hearts and diamonds, black suits = spades and clubs). Each suit has 13 cards: Ace (A), 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and the face cards Jack (J), Queen (Q), and King
(K). In a single draw, what is the probability that you will draw a face card? A red card? A red face card?

If you flip a coin, there is a 1/2 chance you will receive a heads. If you flip a coin twice, you have to use the product rule to multiply each independent flip to find out what the odds of getting two heads in a row. (1/2 x 1/2=1/4.) By this rule, the odds of flipping a coin 13 times in a row twice and getting the exact same thing both times are 213.
(a) Mathematically, what are the chances that any two frog siblings will receive exactly the same complement of chromosomes due to random independent assortment (not counting random genetic recombination) Remember to add together the odds for both egg and sperm. What is this number for a human zygote? What does this tell you about the odds of being identical to one of your siblings, even without taking into account recombination (and not counting identical twins)?
(b) How do the two frog siblings compare? Do they share about 50% of their DNA or a little more or a little less? Is one sibling more or less related to one grandparent or…

- Possible equations to use: PID,] = 1- (PBa + 3/4 Pab + 1/2Pbb)" !3! log (1-PID,) log (Pa8 + 3/4 P8b+ 1/2Pbb) n = 8. A breeder is concerned that his best purebred Angus bull may be a carrier for Curly Calf Syndrome. He decides to conduct some test matings by taking this bull and mating him to 15 of the bulls own daughters to determine if he is a possible carrier of this and any other undesirable recessive genes. Show your work. a. How sure would we be that he is not a carrier if all the calves are born normal? b. How many would you need to be 99% sure he was not a carrier?arrow_forwardBased on the previous question (PpYyRr * Ppyyrr), compute the following probabilities. SHOW YOUR SOLUTIONSarrow_forwardQUESTION 6 Assume that a researcher is studying coat color in voles. Three strains of white vole have been isolated: milky, blanc, and weiss. White is a recessive trait in each strain. Homozygous white voles are obtained for each strain. Consider the following crosses: milky X weiss = all white progeny (mutant) milky X blanc = all brown (wild-type vole color) blanc X weiss = all brown (wild-type vole color) The conclusion most consistent with these results is O A all three strains have mutations in the same gene. O B. all three strains have mutations in different genes. OC. milky and blanc have mutations on the same gene, weiss has a mutation in a different gene. D. milky and weiss have mutations on the same gene, blanc has a mutation in a different gene. O E. weiss and blanc have mutations on the same gene, milky has a mutation in a different gene.arrow_forward
