Based on the given condition of the question the disease is sickle cell anemia.

Sickle cell anemia is one of a group of inherited disorders known as sickle cell disease. It affects the shape of red blood cells, which carry oxygen to all parts of the body.

    Red blood cells are usually round and flexible, so they move easily through blood vessels. In sickle cell anemia, some red blood cells are shaped like sickles or crescent moons. These sickle cells also become rigid and sticky, which can slow or block blood flow.

     Sickle cells break apart easily and die. Red blood cells usually live for about 120 days before they need to be replaced. But sickle cells typically die in 10 to 20 days, leaving a shortage of red blood cells (anemia). Without enough red blood cells, the body can't get enough oxygen, and this causes fatigue.

   Periodic episodes of extreme pain, called pain crises, are a major symptom of sickle cell anemia. Pain develops when sickle-shaped red blood cells block blood flow through tiny blood vessels to your chest, abdomen and joints. The pain varies in intensity and can last for a few hours to a few days. Some people have only a few pain crises a year. Others have a dozen or more a year. A severe pain crisis requires a hospital stay.

  Some adolescents and adults with sickle cell anemia also have chronic pain, which can result from bone and joint damage, ulcers, and other causes. Swelling of hands and feet. The swelling is caused by sickle-shaped red blood cells blocking blood circulation in the hands and feet.

Colored aleurone in the kernels of corn is due to the dominant allele R. The recessive allele r, when homozygous, produces color
Pie

Answer:

The genes are linked, and the arrangement is coupled (one homolog has both dominant alleles; the other homolog has both recessive alleles).

RY / ry

Explanation:

R_= colored aleurone

rr= colorless aeurone

Y_= green plant

yy= yellow plant

They do a testcross between a plant of unknown genotype and phenotype and a plant that is homozygous recessive for both traits (yr/yr) the following F1 is obtained:

  • 88 Colored, green (RY/ry)
  • 92 colorless, yellow (ry/ry)
  • 8 colorless, green (rY/ry)
  • 12 colored, yellow (Ry/ry)

If the genes assorted independently, all of the possible offspring phenotypes would appear in the same frequency. However, they obtained 2 phenotypes much more abundant that the other two. Since recombination is a rare event during crossing over, when two genes are linked the recombinant gametes are produced less frequently than the parentals.

We can propose that the phenotypes Colored, green (RY) and colorless yellow (ry) are the parental gametes, and the unknown plant has the arrangement RY/ry, with both genes linked.
