Answer: Sickle cell anemia

The formation of abnormal hemoglobin that distorts certain blood cells is a condition called sickle cell anemia. It has a crescent shape resembling to a sickle that makes it sticky, rigid, and prone to being trapped in small vessels that blocks the blood from reaching to different parts of the body. 

In addition, this is a genetic disease of the red blood cells with an autosomal recessive condition and you need to have two copies of the gene to have the disease.

The answer is Sickle cell anemia. It is a condition that results in the formation of the abnormal hemoglobin. It is an inherited form in which the healthy red blood cells cannot carry enough oxygen all throughout one's body then.

What type of reasoning is used in this example?
brilliants [131]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The reasoning used is <u>inductive reasoning</u>.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The type of reasoning where the examples are used to derive conclusion it is called as inductive reasoning. The end is the theory or plausible. This implies the end is the piece of thinking that inductive thinking is attempting to demonstrate. Inductive thinking is likewise alluded to as 'circumstances and logical results thinking' or 'base up thinking' since it looks to demonstrate an end first. This is normally gotten from explicit occasions to build up a general end.

As the given examples quotes many examples of desert and then derives conclusion out of it, this is considered as example of inductive reasoning.

Debido a la baja cantidad de calorías que utilizamos o quemamos en un día de trabajo
Delvig [45]

Answer: Se debe a que el cuerpo lleva a cabo funciones fisiológicas vitales que requieren energía.

Explanation:

Las calorías son unidades de energía aportadas por los alimentos que consumimos a diario. Puntualmente se define la cantidad de calor necesaria para aumentar en 1 grado centígrado a la temperatura de 1 gramo de agua desde 14,5 hasta 15,5. La principal fuente de calorías en los alimentos son los hidratos de carbono, luego le siguen las grasas y proteínas.

<u>Dicha energía hallada en los alimentos, es utilizada por el cuerpo para llevar a cabo distintas funciones fisiológicas vitales e importantes para que el organismo funciones correctamente</u>, como el bombeo de sangre del corazón, funcionamiento de los riñones o el actividad del cerebro, etc. Nos referimos a esto como el metabolismo basal, el cual es el valor mínimo de energía utilizada en reacciones químicas celulares para la supervivencia del organismo. Dicho metabolismo basal depende de diversos factores tales como la edad, peso, sexo, etc. Pero también, las calorías son necesarias para distintas actividades voluntarias como caminar o levantar algún objeto.

<u>Sin embargo, la forma de energía de las calorías de los alimentos es distinta a la forma de energía necesaria para llevar a cabo estas funciones fisiológicas tanto voluntarias como involuntarias.</u> Para ello, la energía de las calorías debe de convertirse a otra forma y esto ocurre comenzando primero con la digestión de los alimentos, donde luego sus nutrientes son absorbidos en el torrente sanguíneo para luego dirigirse a las células. En las mismas, ocurre un proceso llamado respiración celular, en donde se utilizan las calorías de los alimentos para sintetizar ATP (Adenosín Trifosfato), la cual es una molécula que almacena energía utilizable por parte de las células y que eventualmente impulsará y llevará a cabo todos los procesos fisiológicos y metabólicos.

Entonces, en el caso del trabajo de una oficina en el que las personas permanecen sentadas largas horas, sin mucha actividad, <u>igualmente necesitan consumir mas de 2.000 kilocalorías diarias ya que el cuerpo debe obtener esa energía para llevar a cabo las funciones de todos los órganos para mantenerlos vivos.</u>

Micah has straight hair. If he is homozygous for the gene that determines straight hair, what is true of his parents?
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

They have contributed same allele for straight hair.

Explanation:

There are two conditions homozygous and heterozygous. In homozygous conditions both the allele of a particular gene is same in an offspring which means the offspring got two same alleles from its parent for a particular gene and if an offspring is heterozygous for a gene that suggests that the parent has contributed two different alleles for that gene in the offspring.

So If Micah is homozygous for straight hair then it can be concluded that his parents have contributed two same alleles for straight hair genes.

What structure is most important in forming the tetrads?
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- synaptonemal complex.

Explanation:

The tetrad arrangement of the genetic material in an organism is mediated by a highly conserved structure known as the synaptonemal complex.  The synaptonemal complex is formed during the prophase I of the meiosis I which attaches the chromatin of the homologous chromosomes.

The synaptonemal complex is a proteinaceous structure which is formed by the two lateral ladders like elements with a central portion composed of the central element. The chromatin gets attached to the lateral elements while the central a portion bridge space between the two ladders thus help in the formation of the tetrad.

Thus, option- synaptonemal complex is the correct answer.
