Mucus would most likely accumulate in the respiratory tract as a result of ciliary destruction.

Pertussis (whooping cough) is a highly contagious respiratory tract infection. A severe hacking cough is followed by the a high-pitched breath intake that sounds like "whoop" in many people. Before the vaccine, whooping cough was thought to be a childhood disease. Whooping cough now primarily affects children who have not received the full course of vaccinations, as well as teenagers and adults whose immunity has waned.

Deaths from whooping cough are uncommon, but most commonly occur in infants. That is why it is critical for pregnant women and others who will have close contact with an infant to be immunized against whooping cough. The best way to avoid pertussis is to get vaccinated. Check that you and your loved ones have received their pertussis vaccines.

Define sickle cell.<br><br>Who is a sickler?​
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder that turns normal, round blood cells into misshaped cells that look like sickles or crescent moons. These sickled cells can get stuck in blood vessels, blocking blood flow and causing severe pain as well as damage to organs, muscles, and bones. Sickle cell disease is inherited, passed from parent to child. Children with sickle cell disease have two defective genes, one from each parent. A child born with sickle cell trait inherited one defective gene from one parent, and a normal gene from the other parent. These children don't have sickle cell disease but are carriers of the defective gene and may pass it on to their children.

One way to do this is to introduce a mutation into the wild type gene clone by site directed mutagenesis or by gene disruption. After the cloned gene is altered it can be re-introduced back into the wild-type  yeast. The yeast is then allowed to multiply and the effect that the mutation has on the yeas can be observed.
