Keith and Marsha's only child to have a carrier genotype, Jeff, did marry. Cedric remained single due to poor health, and Nita s

wore off marriage after several bad relationships. Jeff and his wife Adrienne had four children, Angela, Keith, Joyce, and Denise. Although the parents were not expecting it to happen, their only son and their second born girl were born with sickle cell disease. Post- pedigree questions: If you were Ketih and Marsha's genetic counselor, what would you tell them? _____________________________________________________________________________________ Which of the Jackson's grandchildren are definitely carriers? _____________________________________________________________________________________ What is Adrienne's genotype? ________________________________

Answer:

<u>Answer to Question 1:</u>

Sickle cell anemia is a recessive disorder. The fact that one of their children is a carrier means that either of Keith and Marsha is a carrier ot it might be that both of them are carriers of the disease.

<u>Answer to Question 2:</u>

The other two kids of Jeff and Adrienne who don't have the genetic disease are still carriers of sickle cell anemia.

<u>Answer to Question 3:</u>

Adrienne is a carrier of the sickle cell anemia disease as well, just like Jeff.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

What are convergent boundaries?
boyakko [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

A convergent boundary (also known as a destructive boundary) is an area on Earth where two or more lithospheric plates collide. One plate eventually slides beneath the other, a process known as subduction. The subduction zone can be defined by a plane where many earthquakes occur, called the Wadati–Benioff zone.[1] These collisions happen on scales of millions to tens of millions of years and can lead to volcanism, earthquakes, orogenesis, destruction of lithosphere, and deformation. Convergent boundaries occur between oceanic-oceanic lithosphere, oceanic-continental lithosphere, and continental-continental lithosphere. The geologic features related to convergent boundaries vary depending on crust types.

Plate tectonics is driven by convection cells in the mantle. Convection cells are the result of heat generated by radioactive decay of elements in the mantle escaping to the surface and the return of cool materials from the surface to the mantle.[2] These convection cells bring hot mantle material to the surface along spreading centers creating new crust. As this new crust is pushed away from the spreading center by the formation of newer crust, it cools, thins, and becomes denser. Subduction begins when this dense crust converges with less dense crust. The force of gravity helps drive the subducting slab into the mantle.[3] As the relatively cool subducting slab sinks deeper into the mantle, it is heated, causing hydrous minerals to break down. This releases water into the hotter asthenosphere, which leads to partial melting of asthenosphere and volcanism. Both dehydration and partial melting occurs along the 1,000 °C (1,830 °F) isotherm, generally at depths of 65 to 130 km (40 to 81 mi).[4][5]

Some lithospheric plates consist of both continental and oceanic lithosphere. In some instances, initial convergence with another plate will destroy oceanic lithosphere, leading to convergence of two continental plates. Neither continental plate will subduct. It is likely that the plate may break along the boundary of continental and oceanic crust. Seismic tomography reveals pieces of lithosphere that have broken off during convergence

Why mosquito is called vector for malaria?
vovangra [49]

Only certain species ofmosquitoes of the Anopheles genus—and only females of those species—can transmitmalaria. Malaria is caused by a one-celled parasite called a Plasmodium. Female Anopheles mosquitoespick up the parasite from infected people when they bite to obtain blood needed to nurture their eggs.
