If one parent has been affected by sickle cell anemia, while the other parent does not and is homozygous, the chances that a child will have this disorder is 0%. Thus, the correct option is C.

<h3>What is Sickle Cell anemia?</h3>

Sickle Cell anemia may be defined as a genetic disorder that is caused by a recessive allele. It is an inherited disease in which the red blood cells have an irregular crescent shape, obstruct small blood vessels, etc.

This disease is inherited when both genes of each parent are supposed to be defective or carriers. While in this case, only parents are affected by the disorder while the other is homozygous for the normal allele.

In this condition, all the offspring produced by both parents remain as carriers but not affected ones.

Thus, the correct option is C.

The sickle-cell allele produces a serious blood disease in homozygous recessive individuals. why doesn't natural selection elimi
icang [17]

No, the sickle-cell anemia allele won't be eliminated by natural selection.

Sickle-cell anemia trait is controlled by a single gene and the allele (S) for sickle-cell anemia is a harmful autosomal recessive.

It is caused by a mutation in the normal allele (A) for hemoglobin (a protein on red blood cells).

Heterozygotes (AS) with the sickle-cell allele are resistant to malaria, a deadly tropical disease. It is common in many African populations.

In these areas, (S) carriers have been naturally selected, because their red blood cells, containing some abnormal hemoglobin, tend to be in sickle shape when they are infected by the malarial parasite.

Therefore, they are more likely to survive and reproduce. This keeps the S allele in the gene pool.

How does an increase in volume affect the gas pressure in a balloon
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Boyle's Law explains the relationship between volume and pressure. According to Boyle's Law, the volume of a fixed amount of gas decreases as its pressure increases. If the volume increases, its pressure decreases.
