Phenylketonuria is an inherited disease caused by a recessive allele. People with PKU can't break down the amino acid phenylalanine properly; this compound and a byproduct can accumulate in the blood to toxic levels, causing mental retardation. A man and a woman are both normal, but they are carriers of the disease.
A) If they have children together, what proportion of the kids would be expected to have PKU?
B) What proportion of their children would be normal?

5. (30 0 points) Phenylketonuria (fen-ul-ke-toe-NU-re-uh), also called PKU, is a rare inherited disorder that causes an amino acid called phenylalanine to build up in your body. PKU is caused by a defect in the gene that helps create the enzyme needed to break down phenylalanine. Without the enzyme necessary to process phenylalanine, a dangerous buildup can develop when a person with PKU eats foods that are high in protein. This can eventually lead to serious health problems. For the...

6. Hemochromatosis is an inherited disease caused by a recessive allele. If a woman and her husband, who are both carriers, have three children, what is the probability of each of the following? (a) All three children are of normal phenotype. (b) One or more of the three children have the disease. (c) All three children have the disease. (d) At least one child is phenotypically normal. (Note: It will help to remember that the probabilities of all possible outcomes...

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is caused by the absence of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase, which catalyzes the first step of the pathway that breaks down the amino acid phenylalanine, a common component of dietary protein. Explain how environmental intervention is commonly practiced to prevent the development of this human autosomal recessive condition. Select all that apply. o individuals receive synthetic phenylalanine hydroxylase o the compound toxic for neurons is inactivated by a high level of lysine individuals completely recover after a treatment...

Use XB for the dominant normal condition and Xb for the recessive, color-blind phenotype 12.

Ques 30-31. Tay-Sachs disease is caused by an allele, t, that is recessive to the normal allele, T. A normal man and normal woman have three children, a normal son, a normal daughter, and a daughter with the disease. 30. The genotype of the normal woman is a) TT b) Tt c) tt d) a or b are possible e) b or c are possible 31. The probability that the normal son is a Tt carrier of the disease is...

With typical cystic fibrous, the condition is caused by a single recessive allele. If a woman and her husband are both carriers and produce three children, how likely is it that: A)All 3 children do NOT have cystic fibrous (not the trait)? B) One or more children will have the disease? Please include legends and punnet squares. SHOW THE WORK so I can finally understand this! Thanks.
