What percentage of the offspring in each scenario would have sickle-cell disease? what percentage would have sickle-cell trait?

Sickle cell disease (sickle cell anemia) is a genetic, inherited disease affecting red blood cells, in which a child can be ill if both parents are transmitters, ie asymptomatic carriers of the gene for sickle cell disease. It is a hereditary autosomal recessive disease, that is, it affects girls as well as boys, and only manifests itself when one carries two genes of the disease. This disease is genetic and therefore not contagious.
*So, to be sick from sickle cell disease, the person has to have two sick alleles in the chromosome.
*To have the sickle-cell trait without getting sick, the person has to have only one sick allele.

<h3>What is a habitat?</h3>

The term "habitat" in ecology refers to a region's collection of biotic, physical, and resource elements that are present to support a specific species' ability to survive and reproduce. It is possible to think of a species' habitat as the outward representation of its biological niche. As a result, "habitat" refers to a particular species, which is fundamentally distinct from ideas like "environment" or "vegetation assemblages," for which the term "habitat-type" is more applicable.

which autonomic system conserves energy by returning the body to a normal activity level through a lowered heart rate and blood

SVEN [57.7K]

The parasympathetic nervous system <span>conserves energy as it slows down heart rate, increases intestinal and glandular activity, and relaxes the sphincter muscles of the gastrointestinal tract. It gets the nickname "rest and digest" for doing exactly so. Typically most active when sleeping, however is also the explanation for post-prandial fatigue, or being tired after eating (especially a large meal).</span>

Which of the following statements regarding glycolysis is FALSE?

Levart [38]

Answer:

c. Glycolysis evolved in an oxygen-rich environment.

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the pathway that breaks down glucose into two molecules of pyruvate. It is a common pathway that is performed by both aerobic and anaerobic organisms. In aerobic organisms, glycolysis is followed by Kreb's cycle and electron transport chain. In anaerobic organisms, alcohol or lactic acid fermentation regenerate the NAD+ which is required to sustain glycolysis.

Therefore, glycolysis is independent of oxygen availability and can be performed under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. This means that the pathway of glycolysis evolved under anaerobic conditions.
