The husband is homozygous dominant. What percent of their children are likely to have the PKU problem and need to be placed on a special diet? Show a Punnett square to defend your answer.

2) Huntington's Chorea is a lethal genetic disease of the nervous system caused by a single dominant allele. After a couple has a child, they disÂcover that the husband has Huntington's Chorea.
