The following is an excerpt from the case study "It's All Greek to Me," where Dr. Williams is explaining Nikloleta's disease to

her parents: "You both have a much milder form of anemia. Unfortunately, Nikoleta's condition is more severe. Nikoleta has what is known as beta-thalassemia, which is also called Cooley's anemia ... there are two types of hemoglobin proteins involved in the process of carrying oxygen, alpha and beta. You need both of them in order to have properly working hemoglobin. Nikoleta's beta proteins don't function correctly." If it were possible to treat Nikoleta's anemia with a blood transfusion, what component of the blood would she most benefit from, and whom should the blood transfusion come from? Explain

Answer:

Of the blood component that would benefit from transfusions is the beta globin protein. Blood transfusions would be from one of their relatives, as long as they are not diagnosed with this same health condition, that is, they are healthy.

Explanation:

Beta thalassemia is a type of hereditary thalassemia, characterized by a hematological disorder that reduces the production of healthy red blood cells and normal hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is an iron-rich protein found in red blood cells and is responsible for transporting oxygen to cells throughout the body. This protein has two parts: one is called alpha globin and the other beta globin. There are genes that control the way the body produces hemoglobin. When these genes are altered or missing, thalassemia occurs. The hemoglobin protein affected in beta thalassemia is beta globin.

In the case presented, when both genes are altered, the person has beta thalassemia intermedia or beta thalassemia major (also called Cooley's anemia).

Why waste can hurt animals and people
Zina [86]

According to wikipedia, <em>"Waste are unwanted or unusable materials. Waste is any substance which is discarded after primary use, or is worthless, defective and of no use. Examples include municipal solid waste, hazardous waste, wastewater, radioactive waste, and others."  </em>Assuming what you are asking is how can our garbage affect our environment, you're answer is not one singular sentence.

The answer would be something along the lines of this: The waste produced by what we consume and throw away  can harm people and animals alike due to factors like plastic not being biodegradable, plastic that then pollutes our water, land, and even our air if burnt. Animals can easily consume waste and become ill or be trapped in it and become injured. Overall, our waste management and consumptions of plastic need to change to prevent harm to us by the poisoning, damaging, and crowding that we currently inflict on ourselves and other creatures. Adding to this, our management of biological and hazardous waste is well under control. If there were a breach in this there would be no clean water nearby, no safe meat to eat if animals consume the waste or contaminated water/plants. And the crops would likely die.

Hope this was helpful! don't forget to say thank you or give brainiest if you feel generous! :)
