"A neuron in the aorta detects oxygen content in the blood and relays this information to the brain. This neuron is an afferent fiber in the peripheral nervous system."

A branch of the vagus nerve is the aortic nerve. It provides peripheral baroreceptors and chemoreceptors located in the aortic arch with autonomic afferent nerve fibers. "The tenth cranial nerve is the vagus nerve." Except for the first and the second cranial nerve which is the part of the central nervous system the rest of the cranial nerves are a part of the peripheral nervous system.

Since this nerve fiber detects the oxygen content in the blood and relays this information to the brain it serves a sensory function. These nerves are known as the afferent nerves that transmit the impulse towards the information processing center.

Sickle-cell trait is caused by a single defective allele, but sickle-cell disease only occurs in individuals that are homozygous
Pavel [41]

Answer:

6,25%

Explanation:

Considering that the couple has a trait of sickle cell anemia, we know that both are heterozygous for the disease (Aa) and therefore can have children with the following genotypes:

Parents: Aa X Aa

Children: AA(A x A), Aa(A x a), Aa (a x A) and aa(a x a)

Knowing that sickle cell anemia only occurs in homozygous individuals, the probability for children to have the disease according to each crossing is:

A x A = 1/4 = 25%

A x a = 1/4 = 25%

a x A = 1/4 = 25%

a x a = 1/4 = 25%

The probability of forming each homozygous child (aa) is 1/4 or 25%. Since they are two children, the probability of both having sickle cell anemia is calculated by multiplying the probability of each, so:

1/4 × 1/4 = 1/16 = 0.0625 = 6.25%

It is concluded that the probability of a heterozygous couple for sickle cell anemia to have two children with the disease is 6.25%.
