Answer:

<u>Option-(C):</u>

"Sharks can breathe underwater while whales have to surface to breathe."

Explanation:

<u>Sharks:</u>

Sharks are cartilaginous forms of fish, and these species are living from over 400 millions in the water i.e oceans. As fish are characterized by folded openings on either side of its body. Due, to the system of gills present in the fish body's brings the specialty to the specie that it can collect or extract the amount of oxygen,O₂ from the water or environment in which it is present. As they are able to breath inside the water.

<u>Whales:</u>

Whales are mammals and obviously most of the mammals posses the lungs to breath. And for that reason whales needs to come over to the surface in order to breath. Because, oxygen can not be extracted or collected from the molecules present inside the water. Whales are more different in nature to the sharks.

Phenylketonuria, PKU, is a single-gene recessive human
astraxan [27]

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.
