Answer: Two alleles for mutated haemoglobin is required to have sickle cell disease

Explanation: Sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder in which an individual inherits two allele for sickled haemoglobin from the parents. Every trait is controlled by a pair of gene, one gene from each parent. For an individual to have sickle cell disease he must have two alleles for the mutated haemoglobin, one from each parent. Haemoglobin is a protein found in the red blood cells that binds and transports oxygen to the cells. Haemoglobin is a protein with four subunits: two alpha chains and two beta chains. In a mutated haemoglobin, valine replaces glutamate at position six of the two beta chains. This point mutation on the beta chains of haemoglobin causes the aggregation of haemoglobin, thus giving the red blood cells a sickle shape instead of a disc shape of normal haemoglobin. The allele for the sickle haemoglobin is represented as S and for an individual to have sickle cell disease, he or she must inherit one allele from each parent.

Tell how you should respond if you come upon the scene of a vehicular accident
ddd [48]
Incorporating basic life support, the first thing one should do is survey the scene. Look for any obstacles that will make the response difficult such as shattered glass, fire, etc. Second, call emergency hotline (usually it's 911 but it may differ from other countries). If you are a certified basic life support provider, then continue with the next steps. Next step would be checking the patient's airway, breathing, and circulation (ABC) by checking the if there is blocking the airway, or if the patient can breathe spontaneously, as well as the pulse. Next step would be assess if the patient as a cervical fracture as this should be handled carefully. If the patient is not breathing or has no/decreased pulse then proceed with doing CPR until help arrives.

Svetach [21]
Reported or indirect speech is usually used to talk about the past, so we normally change the tense of the words spoken. We use reporting verbs like 'say', 'tell', 'ask', and we may use the word 'that' to introduce the reported words. Inverted commas are not used.
