Which atom is responsible for joining nucleotides to build a new strand of DNA

<span>Nucleotides are joined together similarly to other biological molecules, by a condensation reaction that releases a small, stable molecule. Unlike proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids, however, the molecule that is released is not water but pyrophosphate (two phosphate groups bound together). When pyrophosphate is cleaved by the addition of water, a great deal of free energy is released, ensuring that the reverse process (hydrolysis of the phosphodiester bond to give free nucleotides) is very unlikely to occur.</span>

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

1/4

Explanation:

Cystic fibrosis is a recessive disorder and therefore, is expressed only in homozygous recessive genotype. Let's assume that the allele "c" is responsible for the disease in the homozygous state. Since the couple already has a child with cystic fibrosis (cc), they both are heterozygous carriers for the disease.

The genotype of male and female each is "Cc". A cross between Cc x Cc gives progeny in the following phenotype ratio=1/4 diseased: 1/2 normal carriers: 1/4 normal. Therefore, the probability of getting a diseased child for them is 1/4.
