Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. Sickle cell disease is passed on from parent to offspring. Sickle cell disea
allsm [11]

Answer: All the statements of the question are correct.

Sickle cell disease is an autosomal recessive disorder that is characterized by formation of defective hemoglobin protein, which results in sickle shaped RBC ( red blood cell).

This disease is caused by mutation in the gene that is responsible for the protein hemoglobin ( which transport oxygen throughout body).

It is inherited by the offspring when both the mutated copy of genes ( one from each parent) are passed to him.

Carriers of the disease exhibit increased resistance to malarial parasites by controlling the level of free haem in the blood ( through enzyme heme oxygenase that produces a toxic carbon monoxide gas). The resistance thus developed, is a mutation.

Therefore, all the statements in the given question are correct.

2. GM crops are made through a process known as genetic engineering. Genes of commercial interest are transferred from one organism to another. Two primary methods currently exist for introducing transgenes into plant genomes. The first involves a device called a 'gene gun'.

3. Crops do not damage the environment simply because they are GM. Some farming practices, such as the overuse of herbicides resulting in the excessive eradication of wild plants from farmland have been shown to harm the environment. These problems are similar for non-GM and GM crops.
