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.

____________ is translated by the ribosomes and contains the code that specifies the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide ch

HACTEHA [7]

mRNA (Messenger RNA) is translated by ribosomes and contains the code that specifies the sequence of amino acids in polypeptide chain.

A single-stranded ribonucleic acid molecule is known as messenger RNA(mRNA) plays a major role in translation.

Translation is the method by which an mRNA codes for a certain protein. mRNA provides the template for protein synthesis.

The ribosome translates the mRNA that is produced from the DNA into a chain of certain amino acids and protein synthesis is facilitated by this amino acid sequence.

The genetic code, which connects the DNA sequence to the amino acid sequence of proteins, is used to "read" the mRNA. Each group of three nucleotides in mRNA forms a codon, and each codon corresponds to a particular amino acid (triplet code).

Thus mRNA contains the code that specifies the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain.

If a scientist is studying the attraction of water molecules to each other, what property is he or she studying?

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer: Cohesion

Explanation:

The cohesive attraction or cohesive forces is the action or property of like molecules which stick together.

It can be intrinsic forces that can be caused by the structure and shape of water. This allows the water molecules to stick to each other.

Due to this phenomenon of water it has a spherical shape and it flows in a liner motion.

Hence, the force that is present between two water molecules is cohesion.
