Sickle-cell anemia is a genetically inherited disease. Homozygous individuals (SS) have normal blood cells that are easily infec

ted with the malarial parasite. Thus, many of these individuals become ill and may die. Individuals homozygous for the sickle-cell trait (ss) have sickled red blood cells that readily collapse when deoxygenated. Although malaria cannot grow in these red blood cells, individuals often die because of the hemoglobin disorder. However, individuals with the heterozygous condition (Ss) have some sickling of red blood cells, but generally not enough to cause death. In addition, the heterozygotes tend to survive better than either of the homozygous conditions as they are resistant to malaria. If 16% of an African population is born with a severe form of sickle-cell anemia (ss), what percentage of the population will be heterozygous (Ss) for sickle-cell and therefore resistant to malaria?

What is the primary objective in a telescope? What two materials can it be<br> made of?
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

The objective itself is usually a cylinder containing one or more lenses that are typically made of glass; its function is to collect light from the sample.

Explanation:

A telescope mirror can be made from glass that is somewhat less pure than that used to make a lens, since light does not pass through it.

In a cell containing 10 chromosomes, meiosis results in the formation of daughter cells containing _____ chromosomes.
Sonbull [250]
5 chromosomes. Meiosis results in 4 haploid cells, meaning they have "n" pairs of chromosomes. The diploid cell that the 10 chromosomes originated in has "2n" pairs. This leaves us with a simple equation to solve the problem, 2n=10, so n must equal 5 chromosomes.
