Juan's family has a history of sickle cell disease. His father died of sickle cell disease complications when Juan was six years

old. He remembers his father being in great pain. Juan marries Gina. Gina's maternal grandmother and paternal grandfather had sickle cell disease, but neither of her parents has the disease. Juan does not want to have children because he is convinced they will have sickle cell disease. They have come to their doctor Melesija for advice about whether or not to have children. Based on calculations of the probability of their child getting sickle cell disease, what advice would be given?

Answer:

Juan father has the sickle cell trait. Gina's maternal grandmother shows the trait and Gina's mother would have inherited it, since she is heterozygous. Gina's paternal grand father shows the trait and Gina's father inherited it as he is also heterozygous.

The chances of Gina to inherit the trait is 25%

(1/2 from both parents)

1/2 + 1/2 = 1/4 equivalent to 25%

Since Gina do not show the trait. A 50% probability for Gina to have it cannot be ruled out since she's not homozygous and there is a 25% probability of being free from the trait.

Take, both Gina and juan to be carriers

HbA HbS x HbAHbS

(Shown in image 1)

We could see a 25% of probability of the trait, 50% chances and 25% of lacking the trait.

Assume Gina is free from the trait and Juan is a the carrier,

HbA HbS x HbAHbA

(Shown in image 2)

The resulting offspring would be at a 50% normal and 50% carriers and none are affected.

My advise for Juan and Gina is to be tested to affirm the likelihood of the trait being present or not as this will allow them plan for giving birth offspring rightly.

Receptor

The correct answers are shorter, longer, and have inverse proportionality and are used in dental radiography.

In the first case vertical angulation is what is used to control the length of any image which is being recorded and it is dictated by the holding device which directs the beam of x-ray perpendicular to both the receptor and teeth and in this case the image which is formed is shorter then the real teeth and it also occurs if the central ray is directed perpendicular to the plane of the receptor rather than to the imaginary bisector.

In the second case, the vertical angulation is flat or if it is too small the image of the teeth will be longer than the actual teeth and it often occurs due to bisecting technique.

Distortion is any kind of change that can occur in both the shape and size of the object and this is inversely proportional to the vertical angulation as when vertical angulation is not correct it creates distortion and also the steep is angulation the smaller the image will be and flat the angulation is the larger or longer the image is and in distortion which comes due to radiograph is mainly used for the teeth and the recommended angulation is +10 degree in which the central ray is directed through the contact of the teeth.

This is also called dental radiography.

suppose you use a microscope to look at a cell from a leaf.which of the following structures will you see that would not be foun
Finger [1]

The correct answer is B.chloroplasts.

Chloroplasts are plant’s organelles so they cannot be found in a cell from fingernail. The function of chloroplasts is to convert light energy of the Sun into glucose that can be used by cells and this is possible thanks to chlorophyll found in chloroplast . The entire process is called photosynthesis.

What was the purpose of Mendel's experiments with dihybrid crosses?
natita [175]

Answer:

From the experiments that have been carried out, it is known that Mendel's theory of segregation can be proven even though the probability is true that the value is not 100%. By using the calculation of the Chi quare equation from the results of existing experiments, it has been found that the theory is compatible with the experiments.

Of all the possibilities of coin tosses in the second experiment, the result is that the probability of a coin not being equal to the "coin" is greater than the possibility of a coin equal to "coin". If we relate to Mendel's theory of cell segregation, then the possibility of random gene descent is correct, but this experiment is not necessarily appropriate because it is done with different observational objects, maybe in genetic genetic descent, there are other determinants that determine heredity genes.

Apart from that, results
