Answer:

Since both Anthony and Sara are healthy carriers of the gene that causes cystic fibrosis, the chance of having a child with this disease are 1:4 (option D).

Explanation:

The inheritance pattern of cystic fibrosis is autosomal recessive, and considering that both parents carry the abnormal CFTR gene, it can be said that the parental genotypes are:

<em>Anthony N/Qf </em>

<em>Sara N/Qf </em>

Where N is the normal gene and Qf is the abnormal gene.

Since this is an autosomal recessive disorder, only the homozygosity of the defective allele will cause the disease to manifest :

N/Qf X N/Qf

<em>Alleles     N       Qf </em>

<em>N            N/N    N/Qf </em>

<em>Qf           N/Qf  Qf/Qf </em>

  • The chances of having a healthy child are 25%.
  • The chances of having a carrier child are 50%.
  • The chances of having a child with cystic fibrosis are 25%.

Therefore, the chance of Anthony and Sara having a child with cystic fibrosis is 1:4.

A diet high in animal products and hydrogenated vegetable margarine may increase the risk for heart disease. this is because
muminat
Animal fats and hydrogenated vegetable margarine contain saturated triglycerides. Saturated triglycerides are those that are made of saturated fatty acids. These saturated fatty acids are capable of forming atheroma (/plaques) along arterial walls, causing atherosclerosis or arteriosclerosis. These could both result in coronary thrombosis (blocking of a coronary artery by a clot of blood), and hence a myocardial infarction (heart attack).
