Scientific theories are not absolute and unquestionable truths: they are the best explanation of the data, but they can be challenged if new data is discovered or if a new theory is found that fits to and explains the data even better!
The best answer is d: this is not an accurate description of a scientific theory!

Answer:
Since sickle cell disease is a disorder with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern, and in light of the lack of data, it could be said that the only way for Pat and Tracy to have a child with sickle cell disease is for both of them to be healthy carriers of the gene, with a 25% probability.
Explanation:
Considering that both Pat and Tracy each have a sibling with a sickle cell trait and that both they and their parents are healthy, it must be assumed that some of their parents are healthy carriers:
- Pat and Tracy do not have sickle cell trait. In this case, there is no chance that they will have a child with sickle cell disease.
- Either Pat or Tracy has the trait, but the other does not. It is possible that at least one of their children is a healthy carrier.
- If both Tracy and Pat have sickle cell trait, the chances of having a child with sickle cell disease are:
Alelles R r
R RR Rr
r Rr rr
RR: healthy (25%).
Rr: healthy carrier (50%).
rr: sickle cell disease (25%).
<em>If Pat and Tracy are healthy carriers of the gene that determines sickle cell disease, the chance of having a child with the disease is 25%</em>.

<span> Embryonic stem cell research is kind of a dead area now since there is no way to control the differentiation. Most research is being done on adult stem cells to help map and control the differentiation process.
Stem-cells from aborted fetuses - The government doesn't sponsor this, if it is done it is by private companies not located in the USA. You could try researching umbilical cord stem cells to be somewhere near your topic. They come from the afterbirth of normal deliveries.
You could do a much easier report by covering cloning of mice through stem-cell technology. It is happening and helping scientists understand diseases. </span>
Answer:
A Elephant eats some grass
A lion rolls in the sand
Explanation:
Elephants and lions are biotic(living), and grass and sand are abiotic (nonliving) and those are two interactions
