A man and his wife went in for fertility testing after trying to have a baby for over a year. After examining the man’s sperm un

der the microscope, the doctor told the man that his sperm do not swim properly. Their tails seem smaller and the doctor suspects that the man has a genetic disorder affecting the proteins in the tails, preventing his sperm from swimming efficiently to unite with his wife’s egg.

Answer:

Ribosomes

Explanation:

This  is the organelle for regulating protein synthesis in cells.It is made up of the small and big submits. These sub units collectively ensure the process of  translation of protein my ensuing the correct  synchronisation of condoms not he smaller nit of ribosomes with the anti codons on the tRNA with the  to give a designated protein.

Therefore if there is mutation -deletion or substitution  in the codons and anti codons,.this may affect bring frame shift which affects the protein translated leading to  wrong protein formation.

Mitochondria is the organelle that gives the sperm  power to swim.Therefore the protein that  codes for mitochondrial is faulty and this affects the the tail from swimming properly.since ribosomes is the source of protein this is the correct answer

A couple has three children, two without sickle cell anemia and one with sickle cell anemia. The mother has sickle cell anemia a
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

The sickle cell allele is recessive. Hence, in order for any child of the couple to have sickle cell anemia, such a child will have to inherit an affected allele each from the two parents. This means that both the father and the mother must have affected alleles in their genotypes. In other words, two sickle cell alleles are required for the abnormality to manifest.

Let us assume that the sickle cell allele is represented by S and the normal allele is represented by A.

Now, it is established that the mother has sickle cell anemia, her genotype would be SS. The father does not have sickle cell, his genotype can either be AA or AS.

Assuming the genotype of the father is AA:

          SS   x   AA

      AS   AS   AS   AS

<em>All the children would be normal in this case.</em>

Assuming that the genotype of the father is AS

           SS    x    AS

      AS   SS   AS   SS

<em>50% of the children would have sickle cell while the remaining 50% would be normal.</em>

<u>Therefore, in order to produce children with sickle cell, the father has to be AS, otherwise, he has to be AA.</u>

In recombinant dna experiments, what is used to cut pieces of dna and what joins the resulting fragments to form recombinant dna
jonny [76]

DNA fragments are cut out restriction enzymes (restriction endonucleases) and then joined together using enzymes called DNA ligases.

<span>Restriction enzymes are enzymes which recognize target sequences (recognition sites) and cuts DNA at or near those sequences.</span>

DNA ligase is an enzyme that connects the gap between the molecules (if they have matching ends).
