*Sickle cell disease is a constitutional corpuscular hemolytic anemia related to an abnormal structure of the globin chain. It is an autosomal recessive disease, which means homozygosity is necessary to fully express the illness.
*It corresponds to the synthesis of an abnormal hemoglobin, HbS, which is different from normal Hb (HbA).

*The S allele (located in the chromosome 11), responsible for the anomaly, is especially widespread in the African continent, it is also found in other regions of the Mediterranean.

Bones kept in hydrochloric acid becomes soft why?
DanielleElmas [232]

Bones are made up of Calcium Phosphate given by the chemical formula, Ca_{3}(PO_4)_2. When bones are kept in Hydrochloric acid, given by the chemical formula, HCl, they become soft because the calcium compound present in the bones changes its form. The following double displacement reaction takes place when the bones are kept in HCl,

Ca_{3}(PO_{4})_{2} + HCl ---> CaCl_{2} + H_{3}PO_{4}

Calcium chloride is water soluble, and gets washed away. This makes the bone thin and soft.

If a plant were to absorb a substance that readily reacts with carbon dioxide in the stroma, the dark reactions would be most li
Assoli18 [71]
The right answer is the dark reaction would stop happening.
The Calvin cycle (or dark reactions, independent of the sunlight) makes it possible to manufacture glucose, an energy molecule, from carbon dioxide. This is called carbon fixation.There are three reactions of this cycle take place in the stroma of chloroplasts: the first of which is the fixation of carbon dioxide. which is a limiting step in this cycle.If a substance other than the components of the dark reactions absorbs and uses carbon dioxide, the carbon cycle will not be able to occur for lack of one of these ingredients which is the CO2.
