Answer:

Dominant

Explanation:

The dominant allele will always be shown in the phenotype if it's present, because the other allele would be dominant or recessive. If both alleles are dominant, then the dominant one shows, if one of the alleles is recessive, then the dominant allele would show over the recessive one.

I think of recessive alleles as "weak" where, they just follow behind whichever other allele exists there. If the other one is dominant, then the recessive one is behind it, and no one can see it. If it other allele is recessive, a recessive allele will be in front.

Sickle cell anaemia is an inherited autosomal recessive

alekssr [168]

Answer:

1/8 (12.5%)

Explanation:

An autosomal recessive disease is an inherited disease in which an individual need to receive both defective alleles at the same gene <em>locus</em> to be expressed in the phenotype. In this case, both parents are carriers of the recessive mutant allele associated with the sickle cell anaemia trait, thereby both parents are heterozygous, ie., each parent has one copy of the normal allele 'H' and one copy of the defective mutant allele 'h' associated with this condition. In consequence, their first child has a 1/4 (25%) chance of having sickle-cell anaemia. Moreover, the chance of having a girl is 1/2 and the chance of having a boy is 1/2, thereby the final chance of having a girl sickle cell anaemia individual is 1/4 x 1/2 = 1/8 (12.5%).

- Parental cross for sickle cell anaemia trait = Hh x Hh >>

- F1 = 1/4 HH (normal); 1/2 Hh (normal); 1/4 hh (sickle cell anaemia) >>

- Sex proportion of sickle cell anaemia individuals = 1/8 female sickle cell anaemia individuals + 1/8 male sickle cell anaemia individuals (1/8 + 1/8 = 1/4)
