Phenylketonuria is an inherited disease caused by a recessive autosomal allele. if a woman and her husband are both carriers, what is the probability that their first child will be a phenotypically normal girl?

3/8

Explanation:

Given that both the parents are carrier for phenylketonuria, the genotype of both parent is "Aa".

Probability of getting phenotypically healthy child = Aa x Aa = 3/4 Healthy (1/2 AA and 1/2 Aa) : 1/4 affected (aa).

Probability of getting a girl child = XY x XX = 1/2 girl (XX) : 1/2 boy (XY).

Hence, probability that their first child will be a phenotypically normal girl = 3/4 healthy x 1/2 girl = 3/8 healthy girl child.

in the year 2850, humans successfully colonized mars. the martian modules that were constructed could hold only a small population of people. it is now a century later, and the population on mars has grown to 600 people. of the current mars population, 45 people express the recessive phenotype for phenylketon- uria (pku) syndrome (pp genotype).
