No, the parents don't have a disorder, but they carry recessive allele.

Individuals with the disorder are recessive homozygous (dd). It is known that recessive allele produces its phenotype only when it is paired with another recessive allele. Thus, to have offspring with disorder (with genotype dd), parents must be heterozygous, or one parent is recessive homozygous, and the other one is heterozygous. 

Now, let's imagine both situations:

Parents:            Dd           x              dd
Offspring:       Dd       Dd         dd           dd

In this cross, there is no possibility to have children with genotype DD.

Parents:            Dd           x              Dd
<span>Offspring:       DD       Dd         Dd           dd
</span>
In this cross all three genotypes DD, Dd, or dd could be inherited.

It can be concluded that three children with <span>the genotypes DD, Dd, and dd, the parents must be heterozygous which do not have the disorder.</span>

Which of the following describes the role of cyclic AMP (cAMP) in hormone response? A. cAMP receives messages from mRNA to begin
Advocard [28]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Hormones are bigger than the cell pores hence cannot pass through the cell membrane to influence biochemical processes. Therefore, hormones (such as glucagon and insulin) bind onto receptors on the cell membrane, then transmembrane proteins, such as the G-protein, change conformation activating the secondary messengers inside of the cell. Cyclic- AMP is a major secondary messenger  significant in activating protein kinases.
