Answer: Option C.

Inefficient oxygen transportation .

Explanation:

Sickle cell anaemia is an inheritable condition in which the the red blood cell cannot transport oxygen effeciently in the blood to organs because of it's distorted shape which is sickle.

Red blood cells function in transporting oxygen in the blood because of it's iron component, when it is distorted it can't carry oxygen efficiently.

This can lead to damage to lungs, livers, nerves, spleens, organs.

<h3>Appropriate Answer:</h3>

$\large{ \boxed{ \bf{ \pink{Stores \: the \: cell \: DNA(C)}}}}$

Nucleus is the control centre of the cell and manages all the cellular activities taking place inside the cell. It consists of four parts :-

Nuclear membrane,
Nucleoplasm,
Chromatin material and
Nucleolus.

The Chromatin material(Condensed - Chromosome) stores the cell's DNA which is transmitted to next generation.

A derived trait of land plants is the presence of small openings that allow gaseous exchange between the plant and its environme

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

B. stomata.

Explanation:

Stomata are openings in the surface of the plant epidermis through which gases and water vapor pass. They are formed by two elongated cells whose shape is similar to bean grain or dumbbell depending on the species. These cells are called guard cells, and in their midst there is a slit called the ostiole.

The stomata make the exchanges between the external and internal environment of the plant. They regulate the size of the opening, so it is possible to increase or decrease the rate of perspiration of the plant.

Stomata are usually located at the bottom of the leaf, but in aquatic plants such as the water lily they are at the top and still in vertical growing plants on both sides.

Humans are diploid organisms, and their gametes contain 23 chromosomes. Fill in the blank in each sentence using the terms. Each

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

2n, n, diploid

Explanation:

When the somatic cells of human are in interphase, the ploidy level is denoted as 2n (diploid). The ploidy level of the human's gametes is denoted as n (haploid). The 2n number of a human is diploid.

Somatic cells are also known as vegetative cells and all somatic cells of humans have diploid number of chromosomes. At interphase, the number of chromosome remains diploid (2n) but the amount to DNA is doubled at the synthesis phase of the interphase.

Human gametes are formed through meiosis - the division of sex cells in the human body. Meiosis results in the halving of number of chromosomes of cells. Hence, all human gametes contain half the number (n = 23) of chromosome of vegetative cells.

Humans are diploid organisms with diploid (2n = 46) number of chromosomes in their vegetative cells.
