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
There are four main organelles:
Nucleus
Ribosome
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Golgi Apparatus
However, the ribosome is the most responsible for making protein, even though the other 3 are also important. It isn't a cell organelle but a cell structure that produces proteins.
Nutrients entering a cell through the cell membrane Removing a phosphate group from an ATP molecule Building sugar or starch molecules for long-term energy storage Adding an additional phosphate group to an ADP molecule.
