The answer is d 25% chance


Sindrei [870]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct answer would be option D.

As TSD is an utosomal recessive disease, thus, a person must be homozygous recessive in order to produce a phenotype.

Both parents are unaffected carrier of the disease that means they bot are heterozygous in genotype.

Thus, the genotype of both the parents would be Tt.

Therefore, both would produce two types of gametes: T and t.

The cross would produce offspring with three types of genotypes: TT, Tt, and tt in the ratio 1:2:1.

Thus, only one out of four offspring has a chance of having the disease.

So, it can be concluded that only 25% chances are there that a child would have a disease.

A caregiver of a toddler has called the poison control nurse to report that the child licked a small amount of petroleum jelly.
mel-nik [20]
The correct answer is to "dilute with milk and water". The patient should not be induced to vomit to prevent aspiration as this can lead to another condition which is aspiration pneumonia. The patient should be given either a glass of milk or a glass of water for ingestion of petroleum jelly.
