Margaret [11]
None of their children would have the disease, but they would all be carriers. Because the X-linked disease is recessive which mean that it is not the main base so if you use punett squares and would get that all of the genomes are Xx, Xx, Xx, Xx which show you that there is a 0% chance of them two people having a child with that disease but there children could have a child with that disease if they had a mate that had that recessive gene.

What results from the removal of a phosphate group from ATP?
natta225 [31]

Answer:

the release of energy

Explanation:

The energy released by ATP is released when a phosphate group is removed from the molecule. When one phosphate group is removed by breaking a bond in a process called hydrolysis, energy is released, and ATP is converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP). Likewise, energy is also released when a phosphate is removed from ADP to form adenosine monophosphate (AMP).
