Galactosemia is a condition that affects how the body digests the sugar galactose. The most common form of galactosemia, type I, is the most severe, and it results from mutations within the GALT gene, which encodes for an enzyme that processes galactose. Galactosemia is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern.

Imagine that your friend Mary has normal metabolism, but that her brother John has galactosemia. Mary and John's parents, Patricia and Les, are unaffected, although their maternal grandmother, Jean, also had the condition. Jean Patricia Gg Gg Les 2 John Mary

If Patricia and Les have another child, what is the probability that they will have a daughter that is affected with galactosemia?

Sea levels are rising due to climate change while increasing numbers of people are moving into coastal areas. to accommodate more people, there has been increased construction of beachfront resorts and condominiums. how is this impacting sea turtle numbers and biodiversity and why? a. the increased human population in coastal areas has meant that more food is available to the turtles (e. g., dropped food, waste from restaurants), which has led to an increase in the numbers and diversity of sea turtles. b. there has been very little change in the numbers and biodiversity of sea turtles because the planet is so vast that they can simply relocate to less crowded beaches. c. this has resulted in a decrease in numbers and diversity of sea turtles because it is restricting available nesting sites, and hence reproduction. d. this has resulted in an increase in numbers and diversity of sea turtles because people are around to protect them from natural predators.
