In the general population, what is the probability that an individual will have the birth defect, assuming that maternal and paternal genes

0.0625

Step-by-step explanation:

The prevalence of gene a = 25 %, P (a) = 0.25

birth defect occurs when both parents have prevalence of gene a.

P (Defect) = P ( Both parents have gene a)

If both parents inherit the gene a independently, the the individual will have a birth defect when both parents have gene a.

P ( Father having gene a) = 0.25

P ( Mother having gene a) = 0.25

Hence,

P (Birth Defect) = P ( Both parents have gene a) = 0.25 * 0.25 = 0.0625

for this pair of functions g(x)=x-2 and f(x)=|x| is (g o f)(a)= |a| -2

step-by-step explanation:

g(x)=x-2

f(x)=|x|

(g o f)(a)=?

(g o f)(x)=g(f(x))

(g o f)(x)=g(|x|)

(g o f)(x)=|x|-2

(g o f)(a)=|a|-2

y/x of point b= y/x of point a

(i got the same question, this was the correct answer.)
