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.
Steroid hormones easily diffuse through the cell membrane. The hormone binds to its receptor in the cytosol, forming a receptor–hormone complex. The receptor–hormone complex then enters the nucleus and binds to the target gene on the DNA.
Amoebozoans are now considered to be in the eukarya supergroup along with animals, after DNA analysis.
Reducing sugar is any sugar (all monosaccharides, some disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides) that is capable of acting as a reducing agent because it contains free aldehyde group or free ketone group.
Aldehyde group or alkanal is an organic compound containing formyl group. The formyl group is a functional group consisting of a carbonyl center bonded to hydrogen and an R group. This group can be readily reduced to primary alcohol with the help of catalyctic hydrogenation either applied directly or by transfer hydrogenation.
Ketone group unlike aldehyde group does not have a hydrogen atome bonded to the carbonyl group but it can still be hydrogenated.
Lithosphere (or geosphere) describes all the rocks, minerals and molten magma found on or in the Earth
The hydrosphere describes all the water on Earth – including liquid water (oceans, etc.) and vapour (precipitation)
The atmosphere describes the layer of gases surrounding the Earth and is divided into sections (stratosphere, etc.)
The biosphere is composed of all the living organisms on the planet (including plants, animals, bacteria, etc.)
The four spheres are interconnected, so human impact on one sphere will potentially effect other spheres
The release of plastic pollution into the oceans (hydrosphere) will impact on marine life (biosphere)
The production and release of CFCs into the atmosphere will effect the impact of UV radiation on the biosphere
