Answer:

g. 2/3

Explanation:

Huntington disease is a autosomal dominant disorder. This disorder can be inherited and there is 50% chance that a child may get infected from his father's disorder. Jeff is 50 and has not shown any disorder symptoms. There are 2/3 people who do not show any symptoms before age of 50. Therefore there is 2/3 chance that Jeff will eventually show symptoms of Huntington disorder.

How were aristotle's and linnaeus classification systems different?
DanielleElmas [232]

However, Linnaeus delved further into classifying organisms looking at their morphology, with an ordered subset of the organism's class divided into five kingdoms: class, order, species, genus, and variety. The process of this classification is called Taxonomy, however, modern scholars also consider the evolutionary history of a species, in the classification process.
