Question

6. Compare the hypotheses of linkage ( r = 0.2 ) and independent assortment for this pedigree. The odds ratio [probability of linkage @ 0.2]/ [independent assortment] is used to compare the hypotheses. The probability of seeing this family if the condition (filled) is not linked to the gene with alleles A,B and C is:

a. (1/4)^6 b. (1/4)^n+1 c. (1/2)^3 d. (1/2)^6 e. (1/4)-6i

7.The probability of seeing this family under the linkage hypothesis is:

a. (.4)5(.2) b. (.4)(.2)5 c. (.1)6 d. (.4)6 e. (.4)5(.1)

8. The odds ratio favors the hypothesis of:
a. segregation
b. independent assortment
c. rigor
