Is it true that the second child of parents who are already have a son has an equal chance of being either sex?
The chances of having a boy for the second, third or subsequent child are the same, regardless of whether the first child was a boy or girl. Slightly more girls than boys are born, so, strictly speaking, the chance of having a son is never 50/50.

Yes, both males and females are susceptible to phenylketonuria (PKU). PKU is an inherited disorder that affects the ability of the body to break down an amino acid called phenylalanine.
