Sickle cell anemia is produced by a genetic defect in the amino acid sequence of hemoglobin. Persons who are homozygous for this

allele have abnormal red blood cells, which characterize the disease. The blood cells of heterozygous persons appear normal and they are considered carriers. A test reveals that a man is heterozygous for the sickle cell allele but his wife is homozygous normal.
What is the probability of their children will be carriers of the disease allele?

Answer:

The probability is 1/2

Explanation:

Heterozygous for sickle cell allele is AS

Homozygous allele is SS

AS SS

The offspring formed include

AS, AS, SS, SS

The probability of their children being carriers include

Number of AS/ Total number of offspring

= 2/4 =1/2 or 0.5

Juliette [100K]

Explanation:

This would be an example of secondary homeostasis

During wound healing, which happens after bleeding from a cut, the homeostatic response is clotting; primary homeostasis involves the formation of a platelet plug at the site, from platelets within the blood

Fibrinogen and platelets form a clot, in order to prevent blood loss and infection.  Fibrin is formed through the activation of coagulation factors which stabilise the plug.

Further Explanation:

The nervous system is subdivided into; the central nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain and spinal cord, within the vertebral column; and the peripheral nervous system, which includes nerves that branch into the rest of the body from the brain and spinal cord. Nervous tissue responds to electrical impulses, allowing for communication between different regions of the body.

The peripheral nervous system is further divided into the somatic nervous system responsible for carrying out sensory and motor information between the peripheral nervous system- including sensory organs like the eyes; and central nervous system; and the autonomic nervous system (ANS) which regulates involuntary bodily functions like heartbeat, breathing and blood flow. The ANS is mainly acts unconsciously and affects smooth muscle and internal organs. It is related to homeostasis- where the body maintains a constant internal balance in pH, temperature, blood pressure etc.

During homeostasis the body maintains a constant internal balance in pH, temperature, blood pressure etc. Cells in a multicellular organism become specialized for particular tasks and communicate with one another in order to maintain homeostasis. Within the human body these are known as hormone cascades, where several complex steps occur- the tissues signal to one another with the use of hormones released by the endocrine system. The regulation (increase and decrease) of these secretions is achieved by negative feedback loops, where the release of certain substances during a cascade in turn halts the secretion of hormones at earlier stages.

Summary of hearing: Vibrations cause the cochlea’s membrane to shake. This causes ripples in the ____________, bending the _____
mash [69]

Answer:

1) Basilar membrane

2) Stereocilia or hair cells

3) Nerve cells

4) Auditory

5) Temporal lobe

Explanation:

Basilar membrane: located inside of the cochlea which is located in the inner ear. This membrane separates two tubes that is filled with liquid which is also important for hearing.  

Hair cells: Connected to the basilar membrane and they acts as sensory receptors which can catch movements (ripples) in the basilar membrane and pass this message to the neurons.

Nerve cells: One of the main cell types in the brain, which are responsible for signal transfer.

Auditory cortex: This part of the brain is located in temporal lobe and handles the auditory information.

20 heterozygous purple flowering pea plants are crossed. If purple is dominant over white, what are the expected phenotypic resu
Elenna [48]
Let's call the colour alleles C for dominant purple, and c for recessive white.

We have crossed Cc with Cc.  So if we put that in a Punnett square, we'd have a CC, two Cc and a cc.  That would give us a 3:1 ratio of purple to white, so you'd expect 15 purple and 5 white flowers. :)
