Question

The frequencies of the four alleles contributed to the child by possible father F1 in Problem 7 are 0.18, 0.23, 0.13, and 0.14.

Make a statement about the possible paternity of F1 based on this analysis.

Accepted Answer

Hi, everyone. Here's our next problem. It says in calculating the paternity index, P I for gene tested what P I value implies that there is no information on the contribution of the non maternal. All choice A less than one B greater than one C. Exactly one or D zero. So let's recall that the P I or paternity index refers to the probability that the alleged father is the source of a particular ally in the child's DNA. So we're looking for api value that implies there's no information on this contribution and that is going to be choice C exactly one. When we look at our other answer, choices, choice D zero, we'll go with that right away because that's the one we might eliminate right away implies that the alleged father has been eliminated. There is no possibility of him being the source of that all then look up a choice. A choice. A less than one means that a random male is more likely to be the source of that alley than the alleged father. But that's not what we're looking for. So choice B and let's move on to that greater than one and greater than one as we might assume means that the alleged father is more likely to be the source of the alley than a random male. But that's not what we are looking for because we're looking for the value that would imply there's no information can't be determined and that is going to be choice c exactly one. See you in the next video.
