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.

forsale [732]

Julie listed out fossil fuels are a non-renewable source of energy and Fossil fuels are becoming more expensive.

Option C

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Fossil fuels are defined as the type of non renewable energy which is formed as a result of dead and decaying organic matter over thousands of years under pressure and temperature of Earth’s core.

This type of fuels are formed due to the dumping of dead prehistoric organisms like dinosaur and others under the soil under a tremendous pressure and very high temperature, where they are acted upon by bacteria and other chemicals to reduce them into petroleum and coal. These are totally non renewable and they are getting expensive over days due to shortage of availability.
