They are both heterozygous for the gene. If you do a pun net square, you will find that they would have a 25% chance of having a child with Costco fibrosis.

We'll make the alleles: Cc.

C is a healthy parent, and c is the cystic fibrosis (recessive).

If you make a punnett square and the parents are both Cc (healthy), then you would get CC, Cc, Cc, and cc. That cc is a 25% chance that the offspring will have that, which means there is a 25% chance the child will have cystic fibrosis.

Two healthy parents can have a child with cystic fibrosis if both the parents have the dominant allele and recessive allele, if both the parents have heterozygous alleles.

What geological evidence could there be for the presence of an early ocean?
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

Volcanic degassing of volatiles, including water vapour, occurred during the early stages of crustal formation and gave rise to the atmosphere. When the surface of Earth had cooled to below 100 °C (212 °F), the hot water vapour in the atmosphere would have condensed to form the early oceans.
