What is the probability that a man with huntington's disease(HD) and a woman with no family history of HD will have a child with HD?
50-50. In the circumstances you list, each child of theirs has an equal chance of having- or not having- HD.
What else can I help you with?
Is huntingtons painful?
It can be, especially for the family.
How can a family pedigree be helpful in determining the the probability of having a child with a genetic disorder?
By showing the history of genetics in the family
What is the probability of giving birth to twins?
about 1/300, but it also depends on age and family history
How can a person be screened for a genetic disorder such as Huntingtons disease?
By genetic testing. This involves laboratory testing on a small blood sample. It will normally be accompanied by family history tracking, and a physical examination, along with counseling.
What is the probability of having a family of ten?
If the family consists of a pair of parents and their offspring, then the probability is very close to 0.
What is the probability of 4 boys in a family with 4 children?
In a family with four children, the probability of having four boys is 1 in 16.
What is the probability that the 6 child family has exactly two girls?
The probability is 2 - 6
What is the probability of a family having a boy after four girls?
The probability of a boy is still 0.5 no matter how many prior children there are.
What is the probability of getting 3 girls in a family of 10 children?
The probability of exactly 3 girls in a family of 10 children, assuming equal chance of a boy or girl, is 0.1172. This is a binomial distribution.
In a family of 5 what is the probability that you will have 3 girls (please show your work)?
The probability of a female is approx 0.4831 across the world. If you assume (rather dubious) that the genders of children in a family are independent then the probability is approx 0.3012In a family of 5, the probability of 3 girls and 2 boys is5C3*(0.4831)3*(0.5169)2 = 0.3012
What are some common pedigree and probability problems encountered in genetic studies?
Common pedigree and probability problems encountered in genetic studies include determining the likelihood of inheriting a specific trait or disease based on family history, calculating the probability of passing on a genetic mutation to offspring, and analyzing the inheritance patterns of complex traits influenced by multiple genes. These problems often involve using Punnett squares, pedigrees, and probability calculations to understand genetic inheritance patterns.
What is the probability that a family of 3 children has exactly 2 girls?
It is 3/8.
