As with any cellular signal, only cells that are expressing receptors on their cell surface for a particular signal will be effected. In the case of your question, only cells in a womens body that are expressing specific receptors for reproductive hormones will respond to those hormones.


How some cells know to have receptors and others do not is a mystery to science still. It is likely determined by a combination of environmental and genetic cues during development.

If two people who are heterozygous for the PKU allele have a child with PKU, what is the likelihood their next child will have P
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

The correct answer is 25% likely.

Explanation:

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is inherited in an <u>autosomal recessive pattern</u>, which means <u>both copies of the gene in each cell must have mutations</u> 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.
