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.

What are the definition of these words ?
Basile [38]

Answer:

Carbohydrates are the sugars, starches and fibers found in fruits, grains, vegetables and milk products.

Fiber is a carbohydrate that the body can't digest. It's found in the plants we eat — fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes. Fiber can be soluble or insoluble: Soluble fiber dissolves in water. It helps lower cholesterol and improve blood sugar control.

protein is nutrient found in food (as meat, milk, eggs, and beans) that is made up of many amino acids joined together, is a necessary part of the diet, and is essential for normal cell structure and function.

Cholesterol is a type of fat found in your blood. Your liver makes cholesterol for your body. You also can get cholesterol from the foods you eat. Meat, fish, eggs, butter, cheese, and milk all have cholesterol in them. Fruits, vegetables, and grains (like oatmeal) don't have any cholesterol.

Vitamins are a group of substances that are needed for normal cell function, growth, and development. There are 13 essential vitamins. This means that these vitamins are required for the body to work properly.

They are found on Earth's surface as well as deep underground. Minerals are inorganic substances, meaning that they do not come from an animal or a plant. Mineralogy is the science of minerals. ... Some of the most common minerals are metals—for example, gold, silver, copper, and platinum.
