Answer:

Explanation:During fertilization the embryo receives half of its genetic information from both parents. If one parent is a carrier or sickle cell their genes would be Aa little a being the recessive gene. When mixed with the other parents gene who does not have sickle cell their genes would be AA. When you make a pun net square the results would be AA,AA,Aa,and Aa. Therefore the offspring would have a 50% chance of being a carrier of sickle cell but not having the actual disease

Imagine that you are a hungry cell and find a large supply of citrate (citric acid). how many atps can you get from each citrate
lakkis [162]
This question is asking for the number of ATP that is produced by the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain. 
Citrate is the first biological substance in the citric acid cycle and it is the starting point of the cycle. From one molecule of citrate, the citric acid cycle will produce 2 ATP while the electron transport chain will produce 34 ATP. Therefore, together both the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain will produce 36 ATP.

What does natural selection favor?​
ratelena [41]

Answer:

The mechanism that Darwin proposed for evolution is natural selection. Because resources are limited in nature, organisms with heritable traits that favor survival and reproduction will tend to leave more offspring than their peers, causing the traits to increase in frequency over generations.

The reason that natural selection is important is that it's the central idea, stemming from Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace, that explains design in nature. It is the one process that is responsible for the evolution of adaptations of organisms to their environment.

A caregiver of a toddler has called the poison control nurse to report that the child licked a small amount of petroleum jelly.
mel-nik [20]
The correct answer is to "dilute with milk and water". The patient should not be induced to vomit to prevent aspiration as this can lead to another condition which is aspiration pneumonia. The patient should be given either a glass of milk or a glass of water for ingestion of petroleum jelly.
