Complete question:
Imagine that a newly discovered, recessively inherited disease is expressed only in individuals with type O blood, although the disease and blood group are independently inherited.
A normal man with type A blood and a normal woman with type B blood have already had one child with the disease. The woman is now pregnant for a second time.
Assuming that both parents are heterozygous for the gene that causes the disease, what is the probability that the second child will also have the disease? Express your answer as a fraction using the slash symbol and no spaces (for example, 1/2).
Answer:
The probability that the second child will also have the disease is 1/16.
Explanation:
<u>Available data:</u>
- Two genes independently inherited: one for blood type, the other for disease
- Man with type A blood x Woman with type B blood
- Both parents are heterozygous for the gene that causes the disease; Dd
If the man has A blood, and the woman has B blood, and they already have an affected child, this means that they must be heterozygous for blood type too.

Explanation:
50%; homozygous recessive; phenotype
According to the Punnett square, offspring from these two parents have a <u>50%</u>chance of inheriting two b alleles. Individuals that inherit two b alleles are <u>homozygous recessive </u>. Inheriting two b alleles confers the <u>phenotype</u> of blue eyes.
Inheritance describes the way in which certain traits are passed onto offspring of sexual reproduction. For instance, co-dominance, both of a gene's alleles are present, and notable in the phenotype.
The nucleus is a large membrane-bound organelle that houses the genetic information, DNA, in the cell. Sequences of DNA make up genes which can have different forms called alleles and comprise the genotype. DNA is transcribed into mRNA and later translated into amino acids which are linked together by rRNA to form proteins. These proteins, when expressed, are referred to as an organism's phenotype.

It's know as chemical equilibrium
We need to know the dominant and recessive traits of the noombats in order to answer this question. If both of them has yellow as the dominant trait, then green may be recessive. In that case there is a chance for them to have a green bellied child. Its impossible to tell the percentage though because we don't know enough about the animals.
Answer: Of all the branches of complex animals, sponges are the only group lacking TRUE TISSUE.
