Map pling Sickle-cell anemia is a disease that affects the type of hemoglobin (Hb) a person makes in his or her red blood cells.

Consider the case of Martin and Cindy, who are the parents of Mary. Martin has sickle-cell anemia with abnormal hemoglobin, and his genotype is HbS/HbS. Cindy has normal hemoglobin, and her genotype is HbA/HbA Their child, Mary, carries the sickle-cell trait and produces both normal hemoglobin and abnormal hemoglobin. Mary's genotype is Hbs/HbA. What type of dominance pattern would result in Mary's blood producing both normal and abnormal O incomplete dominance O pseudodominance O complete dominance O codominance

Answer:

The correct answer is codominance.

Explanation:

It is given in the question that the genotype of Martin is HbS/HbS, and is exhibiting sickle cell anemia with unusual hemoglobin. On the other hand, the genotype of Cindy is HbA/HbA, which shows that she possesses normal hemoglobin. Both of them have a child, Mary who as usual is exhibiting genotype HbS/HbA.  

This shows that Mary has acquired both the alleles for sickle cell anemia from her parents, and thus, is demonstrating both unusual and normal form of hemoglobin. Sickle cell is a condition that does not demonstrate the phenomenon of complete dominance, as it is a codominant trait.  

A phenomenon in which the features of both the alleles are expressed in the phenotype is termed as codominance. Hence, Mary is demonstrating a codominance pattern.

A book review would be considered
masha68 [24]
It is definitely not a primary source: this would be a book itself.

Now, is it a tertiary source? I don't think so: the author of the review should have read the book and should only be referring to this book in the review.

I think it's a secondary source.

How does Glucose get into the cell?
Alex_Xolod [135]

Glucose gets into the cells through a process called facilitated diffusion. This is a transport mechanism in which carrier proteins shuttle molecules across the cell membrane without using the cell's energy supplies and so it is called passive transport. The carrier proteins bind to  glucose, which causes them to change shape and translocate the glucose from outside of the cell membrane and into the cell.

(a) glucose is important because it is the primary source of energy for the cell.

(b) Glucose is  6 - carbon monomer of  starch. It is a sugar.

(c) Glucose is broken down to pyruvate through the process of glycolysis.
