A child has to get the sickle cell anemia gene from both of the parents. The parent can carry and pass on the gene without getting sickle cell anemia. But since the gene is in them, there is a possibility they could also get sick.

Hope this helps! :)

What effect does high temperature have on the growth of a plant?

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The effects of increased temperature exhibit a larger impact on grain yield than on vegetative growth because of the increased minimum temperatures. These effects are evident in an increased rate of senescence which reduces the ability of the crop to efficiently fill the grain or fruit.

B=black and b=brown. A Bb guinea pig crosses with a Bb guinea pig, and four offspring are produced. All of the offspring are bla

Sladkaya [172]

If two Bb guinea pigs cross, there are four possible outcomes:

both pass the B: the son is BB
one of the pass the B and the other pass the b: the son is Bb
both pass the b: the son is bb

Since B (being black) is dominant, the son will be black in both BB and Bb cases. In order for a son to be brown, he must be a pure bb specimen.

So, if all of the offspring are black, it means that all four guinea pigs are either BB or Bb, which in turn means that at least one of the parents passed the B gene.

I NEED HELP The measure of how resistant a solid is to shape change when a force is applied.

enyata [817]

Hardness is a measure of how resistant solid matter is to various kinds of permanent shape change when a force is applied Macroscopic hardness is generally characterized by strong intermolecular bonds, but the behavior of solid materials under force is complex; therefore, there are different measurements of hardness: scratch hardness, indentation hardness, and rebound hardness. Hardness is dependent on ductility, elastic stiffness, plasticity, strain, strength, toughness, viscoelasticity, and viscosity. Common examples of hard matter are ceramics, concrete, certain metals, and super hard materials, which can be contrasted with soft matter.
