Abstract.We give a new form of representing the numbers in the unit interval
![$\left[ 0,1\right] $](img4.png){kind=small}
and we call these numbers pure fractions. The theory and properties of pure fractions are studied and used to create a mathematical model for the control of the transmission of genetically inherited diseases.
