Answer:

Every human has a couple of genes that will be separated when they make gametes. A baby will get one gene from each parent (one sperm and one egg).  

Sickle cell gene is inherited by an autosomal recessive pattern, which means you need both defect genes to get the disease. The person with 1 defect gene can survive and live like normal. This person called a carrier because they carry one defect gene.

Someone that carries one defect gene can come as a result if you cross normal or carrier genotype (AA/Aa) with a carrier(Aa), or with homozygote recessive that carries 2 defect genes (aa). The person will get one healthy gene from the first parent with normal genes, and one defect gene from the second parent.

The population of light colour Peppered moths decreases and dark Peppered moths increases.

Explanation:

During the industrial revolution, the population of light colour Peppered moths decreases and dark Peppered moths increases because due to industrial revolution, air pollution increases which spreads a black dust on the trees and as a result the light colour Peppered moths can easily be seen in the dark by its predator and feed on them while dark colour Peppered moths can't be seen in the dark so the predator is unable to feed and as a result the population of dark colour Peppered moths increases.

What was a major benefit of bipedality? better detection of predators freed the hands for other uses faster locomotion could jum
kaheart [24]

The right answer is freed the hands for other uses.


bipedality is also more economic than tetrapedality, but it is not as fast and does not offer a high jumping skills.

The standing position has an advantage in reproduction because it has become attractive to females and more or less successful imitation in males, depending on their abilities, but bipedalism is a disadvantage in childbirth.
