Answer:
6,25%
Explanation:
Considering that the couple has a trait of sickle cell anemia, we know that both are heterozygous for the disease (Aa) and therefore can have children with the following genotypes:
Parents: Aa X Aa
Children: AA(A x A), Aa(A x a), Aa (a x A) and aa(a x a)
Knowing that sickle cell anemia only occurs in homozygous individuals, the probability for children to have the disease according to each crossing is:
A x A = 1/4 = 25%
A x a = 1/4 = 25%
a x A = 1/4 = 25%
a x a = 1/4 = 25%
The probability of forming each homozygous child (aa) is 1/4 or 25%. Since they are two children, the probability of both having sickle cell anemia is calculated by multiplying the probability of each, so:
1/4 × 1/4 = 1/16 = 0.0625 = 6.25%
It is concluded that the probability of a heterozygous couple for sickle cell anemia to have two children with the disease is 6.25%.
Answer:
13. is Option J) all of the above
and 14 I'm not completely sure but I think its option D.
<span>An organelle is a functional subunit enclosed by a membrane within a eukaryotic cell. The name "organelle" means little organ and the name comes from the analogy with organs: what an organ is to a body, an organelle is to a cell. So, the organelle is the organ of the cell. There are different types of organelles in cells, such as nucleus, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, chloroplasts, vacuoles, and they all have a different function. For example, the nucleus is the organelle which main function is control of cell activities. Mitochondria are organelles which main function is energy production. </span>
