If one of the parents has allergy how much percentage probability is there that the child will also get allergy?(a) 20%(b) 48%(c) 70%(d) 100%I got this question during a job interview.I want to ask this question from Drug Concentration and Pharmacologic Response in section Applications of Pharmacokinetic Principles, Diuretics, Drug Concentration and Pharmacologic Response of Drug Biotechnology

Answer»

The CORRECT option is (B) 48%

Easiest EXPLANATION: Allergies are caused by a hypersensitivity reaction of the antibody class IgE which are located on mast cells in the tissues and basophils in the blood. When an allergen is encountered, it binds to IgE, which excessively activates the mast cells or basophils, leading them to release massive amounts of histamines. If both PARENTS have allergies, you have a 70% of having them, if only one parent does, you have a 48% probability.
