With distilled spirits (such as bourbon, scotch, vodka, gin, and rum), alcohol content is expressed in terms of proof. For example, 100-proof gin is 50 percent alcohol.

'Proof' is directly two times the alcohol by volume or ABV (measured as a percentage).

The term 'proof' originated from England, where the government used to impose a greater tax on liquor having a greater quantity of alcohol. Alcohol content was decided by means of a quite primitive test.

Primarily, the government would rinse a gun pellet with alcohol and seek to ignite the gunpowder. If it was ignited, the alcohol content in the liquor was considered high enough to be judged to be a 'proof' spirit, in the sense that there was proof which indicated that it had a greater quantity of alcohol.

How does the human system of reproduction result in people getting one copy of a sickle cell gene and one copy of a normal gene?
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Every human has a couple of genes that will be separated when they make gametes. A baby will get one gene from each parent (one sperm and one egg).  

Sickle cell gene is inherited by an autosomal recessive pattern, which means you need both defect genes to get the disease. The person with 1 defect gene can survive and live like normal. This person called a carrier because they carry one defect gene.

Someone that carries one defect gene can come as a result if you cross normal or carrier genotype (AA/Aa) with a carrier(Aa), or with homozygote recessive that carries 2 defect genes (aa). The person will get one healthy gene from the first parent with normal genes, and one defect gene from the second parent.
