There is absorption of carbon dioxide by the oceans through physicochemical (air-sea surface exchange) and biological processes. During physicochemical process, molecules of CO2 get into the ocean by diffusing into the sea surface waters and dissolving. Various factors such as wind, sea surface mixing, concentrations of CO2, and the temperature of the water influences the amount of CO2 that diffuses and dissolves in the ocean surface water. Also, during biological processes, dead cells, shells and other parts of dead organisms get decayed and releases carbon dioxide at the bottom of the water.

A person with sickle cell trait has ___ mutated copies of the hemoglobin gene, a person with sickle cell disease has ___ mutated
Margarita [4]

Answer:

A person with sickle cell trait has one mutated copy of the hemoglobin gene, a person with sickle cell disease has two mutated copies.

Explanation:

Sickle cell disease also known as sickle cell anemia is caused by mutation of the beta chain of hemoglobin, the gene for which lies in 11th number chromosome. If a person possess only one mutated gene, then the disease is not expressed in the person. The person then only possess the trait for sickle cell anemia, that is, there is a chance of sickle cell disease in the offspring, but the sickle cell trait are usually asymptomatic or live like normal individual. While the person possessing two mutated gene is said to be suffering from sickle cell anemia and is found to possess S hemoglobin in the red blood cells which is abnormal hemoglobin without any ability to carry oxygen.
