The pedigree on the right shows the inheritance pattern for an x-linked recessive disorder. how many individuals are carriers of the disease but are not affected?

Pedigree analysis s used to understand the heredity and inheritance of genes of an individual. The X-linked recessive disorders are inherited through the genetic defect on X chromosomes.

In the pedigree given, the number of individuals that will be carriers is four.

The pedigree chart for X-linked recessive disorder determines the inheritance pattern of the genetically defected X-chromosome. A disease like hemophilia is a type of recessive X-linked disorder.

Women are represented as circles, which are generally carriers for the disease because the chromosomes in the females are two XX.

Males are represented by squares, which generally express the disease due to the presence of the XY chromosome.

Therefore, the number of individuals is carrier as 4 and the individuals not affected as 12.

the answer is 4/the genotype of the circled male is XaY

Explanation:

the framers of the constitution insisted that federal judges be nominated instead of elected due to their desire to have judges above the shifting whims of the masses.

the hope, whether achieved or not, was that federal judges would only be beholden to the law and that by not having judges be elected, they would be protected if that law dictated an outcome that ran counter to popular opinion.
