Answer:

1/2

Explanation:

Let's assume that the allele "p" is responsible for PKU in the homozygous state. According to the given information, both the parents are unaffected by the disorder but have an affected child. This means that both the parents carry at least one copy of the recessive allele responsible for the disease. Therefore, the genotype of each of the parents is Pp. A cross between Pp and Pp would produce progeny in following ratio=

Pp x Pp = 1/4 PP: 1/2/ Pp: 1/4 pp

Therefore, the probability that their next child will carry just one recessive allele is 1/2.

Option d is incorrect because they don't precisely mimic something in nature, but instead help us visualize something in nature that is difficult to see or comprehend.</span>

Which is evidence of climate change due to geological evolution?

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

<em>Evidence from the geological record is consistent with the physics that shows that adding large amounts of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere warms the world and may lead to: higher sea levels and flooding of low-lying coasts; greatly changed patterns of rainfall2; increased acidity of the oceans 3,4,5,6; and decreased.</em>
