Refined carbohydrates are digested faster, leading to a fast rise in blood glucose levels.
Refined carbohydrates have a higher glycemic index than processed whole grains. That's because of their simple chemical structure, leading to powerful spikes in blood
sugar and insulin secretion. This immediate impact can lead to an increased risk for type 2 diabetes, overweight and heart disease.
The baby is considered as extremely preterm infant.
The babies that are born alive before the completion of a period of 37 weeks of pregnancy are the preterm babies. There are three categories into which preterm born babies are distinguished: moderate to late preterm for 32-37 weeks, very preterm for 28-32 weeks and extremely preterm for less than 28 weeks.
Premature births are one of the major causes of death of children under the age of 5 years. The babies that survive may have problems and may be visual or hearing impaired, may have learning disabilities etc.
The kidneys.
The kidneys keep blood isotonic by removing excess salt and water through urine.
1.What is the probability that a sperm from the father will contain the PKU allele?
Probability = ½
2.What is the probability that an egg from the mother will contain the PKU allele?
Probability = ½
3.What is the probability that their next child will have PKU?
Probability = ¼ (because each parent has ½ chance ½ X ½ = ¼)
4.What is the probability that their next child will be heterozygous for the PKU gene?
Probability = ½ (because each parent has ½ chance of donating the ‘P’ allele and ½ chance of donating the ‘p’ allele (½ x ½) + (½ x ½) = ½
