It would actually be higher than this. You need two recessive genes to have the full condition. Just one recessive gene and one functioning gene means one wouldn't have the condition, but would be a carrier.

Since you have the condition, you have two of the recessive genes. Therefore, you will give your children the recessive gene 100% of the time. If the mother did not have the condition, she could still be a carrier. If she's a carrier, then it's a 50% chance your children will have PKU.

You'd have to know the rate of carriers in the population to figure this out!

Earlier this year I tried leafletting on my campus for the first time. I discovered that I love it! It felt great to get out there and talk to people about an issue I care about. Pretty much all my interactions were positive (save a few, haha).

Given how much I enjoyed it, I want to leaflet much more. But how often should I leaflet my campus? I can do it whenever I want, but I think doing it too often wouldn't be nearly as productive.

Another question: What do you say when a stranger asks you why you're vegan? And how does this differ from when a friend or family member asks you the same question? I'm fine-tuning my response to this FAQ. Thanks! Keep us the excellent work!
