Explanation:
<u><em>Sickle cell disease is a group of disorders that affects hemoglobin, the molecule in red blood cells that delivers oxygen to cells throughout the body. People with this disorder have atypical hemoglobin molecules called hemoglobin S, which can distort red blood cells into a sickle, or crescent, shape.</em></u>
<u><em></em></u>
Signs and symptoms of sickle cell disease usually begin in early childhood. Characteristic features of this disorder include a low number of red blood cells (anemia), repeated infections, and periodic episodes of pain. The severity of symptoms varies from person to person. Some people have mild symptoms, while others are frequently hospitalized for more serious complications.
The signs and symptoms of sickle cell disease are caused by the sickling of red blood cells. When red blood cells sickle, they break down prematurely, which can lead to anemia. Anemia can cause shortness of breath, fatigue, and delayed growth and development in children.

Answer:
DNA from a gene of interest can be inserted into a plasmid, then the modified plasmid can be inserted into a bacterial cell to replicate a gene of interest many times.
Explanation:
Plasmids are the extra-chromosomal circular DNA present in bacterial cells. Plasmids are able to replicate themselves independent of genetic DNA. Their ability to self replicate allows them to maintain themselves in the bacterial cells. This is why plasmids are used as cloning vectors in recombinant DNA technology.
A gene of interest is isolated from the donor cell and is inserted into the plasmid. The recombinant plasmid is introduced into bacterial cells where it replicates the ligated desired gene and allows the gene cloning. For example, the human insulin gene is ligated with plasmid and the recombinant plasmid is introduced in <em>E. coli</em> where it replicates the human insulin gene and allows the production of desired copies of the gene.
Answer:
Explanation:
A gene pool typically has two or more alleles for a given trait. Homozygous lethal traits can be carried by heterozygous individuals and thus remain in a gene pool. Relative Frequency is the number of times an allele occurs in a gene pool compared with the number of times other alleles occur.
