If two people who are heterozygous for the pku allele have a child with pku, what is the likelihood their next child will have pku?

The correct answer is 25% likely.

Explanation:

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, which means both copies of the gene in each cell must have mutations to express the disease.  

If we let the allele causing PKU be “p” and the normal allele be “P”, the affected individual must have “pp” combination. If both parents are heterozygous, this means the have “Pp” combination and therefore the result in their progeny will be the following:

¼: PP (25%)

¼: pp (25%)

½: Pp (50%)

This pattern will repeat itself every time they try to have a child.

precisely the author keeps the interest of readers not describing clearly the   kind of relationship in giselle's family. by doing this, readers had to imagine and assume how it was.   instead, the author described better scenes with dark star and the influence of books about horses in giselle's life and actions.   also the fact that she broke her arm but not referring to it in detail leads the readers to imagine and guess what could have occurred.

all soils contain mineral particles, organic matter, water and air the combinations determine the soil's properties – its texture, structure, porosity, chemistry and color. soil is made up of different-sized particles. sand particles tend to be the biggest.
