Answer:

True

Explanation:

Hyperglycemia which means high Glucose level in the blood as a result of lack of insulin can damage the glomeruli. This interfere with the function of the glomeruli. Normally glomeruli fiters blood and remove nutrients to form urine but hyperglycemia will affect it's negatively and will make protein to leak from the blood into the urine. This can also lead to glomeruli called glomerulosclerosis.

You are examining offspring (zygotes) of females that may have one or more copies of a recessive mutation in a maternally active

irinina [24]

Answer is only 1st case that is homozygous zygote is the right answer.

Explanation:

In maternal recessive mutation both the alleles are mutant and exhibit mutant phenotype. The mutated alleles are present as homozygous.

From the definition it is concluded that:

first case, homozygous zygote is mutant phenotype

second case, heterozygous zygote not mutant phenotype

in third case, heterozygous zygote not mutant phenotype.

The pedigree below concerns the autosomal recessive disease phenylketonuria (PKU). The couple marked A and B are contemplating h

likoan [24]

Answer: Hello your question some missing data attached below is the complete question

answer:

P( first child having PKU ) 0.25 ≤ x ≤ 0.5

Explanation:

The pedigree father has PKU ( pp ) ( From the top right )

pedigree mother = PP

The possible resultant progeny = Pp

Resultant progeny marries non-carrier ( Pp x PP ) = PP , PP, pP, pP

Hence B is either ; PP ( non carrier ) or Pp ( carrier )

one of the Resultant progeny = pp ( affected ). this simply means pedigree parents where both carriers or sufferers i.e. Pp or pp

Hence A is either ; Pp or pp

The probability of their first child having PKU

= PP x Pp = PP, Pp, PP, Pp ( probability = 0 in this case )

= Pp x Pp = PP, Pp, pP, pp ( probability = 1/4 * 100 = 25% )

= Pp x pp = Pp, Pp, pp, pp ( probability = 2/4 * 100 = 50% )

P( first child having PKU ) 0.25 ≤ x ≤ 0.5

lets denote dominant Gene = PP, recessive Gene = pp
