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.

Answer:

  Variations Within Ecosystems

Ecosystem diversity can be described as a term which is used o describe the changes within an ecosystem and the impact these changes have on the environment and humans.

Variations within an ecosystem can cause genetic drifts. Variations will cause those organisms to survive which are better adapted to survive to the changes which occur in an ecosystem. And the organisms which are not better suited become extinct over a period of time. Hence, this will lead to a wide rise in biodiversity.

If an enzyme in solution is saturated with substrate, the most effective way to obtain a faster yield of products is to:a. add m
Simora [160]

Answer:

a. add more of the enzyme

Explanation:

Enzymes have specific sites to which their substrates bind during the reaction. These sites are called active sites. When all the active sites of all the enzyme molecules present in a solution are bound to the substrate molecules, the enzyme is said to be saturated with the substrate. Under these conditions, more enzyme molecules are to be added to the solution to increase the reaction rate and to obtain the product at a fast rate. The addition of more enzymes will allow more substrate molecules to occupy the active sites and to be converted into the product/s.
