Diabetes is a condition that involves abnormal glucose levels in the blood (blood sugar). Type 2 diabetes result from the impaired uptake of glucose by the body cells for generation of energy, which caused by the cells being insenstitive to insulin hormone. It is caused by one being over weight, lack of exercise among other factors. Pedometers are gadgets that counts the steps taken by individuals by detecting motion or movement of hands and hips. Pedometers use by diabetic people has been found to be beneficial in a number of ways; first they help individuals to exercise more, pedometers are useful in evaluating and setting fitness objectives which end up helping the patients exercise thus reducing the risk of diabetes. secondly use of pedometers has seen weight and BP reduction . Hence due to these and many other benefits pedometers are useful in type 2 diabetic patients.

The use of pedometers benefited people at high risk for type 2 diabetes because when told they had to walk 10,000 steps they thought it was impossible but once they saw how much steps they did doing regular everyday things it seemed easy to accomplish 10,000 steps.

Sickle cell anaemia is an inherited autosomal recessive
alekssr [168]

Answer:

1/8 (12.5%)

Explanation:

An autosomal recessive disease is an inherited disease in which an individual need to receive both defective alleles at the same gene <em>locus</em> to be expressed in the phenotype. In this case, both parents are carriers of the recessive mutant allele associated with the sickle cell anaemia trait, thereby both parents are heterozygous, ie., each parent has one copy of the normal allele 'H' and one copy of the defective mutant allele 'h' associated with this condition. In consequence, their first child has a 1/4 (25%) chance of having sickle-cell anaemia. Moreover, the chance of having a girl is 1/2 and the chance of having a boy is 1/2, thereby the final chance of having a girl sickle cell anaemia individual is 1/4 x 1/2 = 1/8 (12.5%).

- Parental cross for sickle cell anaemia trait = Hh x Hh >>

- F1 = 1/4 HH (normal); 1/2 Hh (normal); 1/4 hh (sickle cell anaemia) >>  

- Sex proportion of sickle cell anaemia individuals =  1/8 female sickle cell anaemia individuals + 1/8 male sickle cell anaemia individuals (1/8 + 1/8 = 1/4)
