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

What first spurred research into what has now become green building?
Ghella [55]
San Francisco has an opportunity to reap tremendous economic, environmental, and health benefits by adopting recent advances in “green building”—benefits that will only increase in value over time. Many standard building design, construction, operation, and renovation practices are outmoded, inefficient, costly, and have adverse health and economic effects. The shift to new, environmentally sensitive practices would maintain San Francisco’s status as a leader in urban planning and environmental innovation. A shift to green buildings is also vital to enhancing San Francisco’s livability for its residents, workers, and visitors.

In guinea pigs the allele for black fur (B) is dominant over the allele for brown fur (b), and the allele for short fur (F) is d
galben [10]

Answer:

100%

Explanation:

This question involves two genes in guinea pigs; one coding for fur color and the other for fur length. The alleles of black fur (B) and short fur (F) is dominant over the alleles for brown fur (b) and long fur (f).

In a cross between two offsprings with genotypes: BBFF x bbff, the following gametes will be produced by each parent:

BBFF - BF, BF, BF, and BF

bbff - bf, bf, bf, bf

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), one will notice that all of the offsprings will have the genotype: BbFf i.e all or 100% of the offsprings are heterozygous for both of the genes or traits.

What are two global issues associated with using fossil fuels for energy?(1 point)
astraxan [27]

Answer: b. fossil fuels are nonrenewable, so humans will run out of them eventually. burning fossil fuels also contributes to global climate change by releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Fossil fuels are limited and we will run out of them eventually. They cannot be replenished in a single human's lifespan. Fossil fuels contribute to the destruction of ecosystems, but not only that. They release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere that warms the Earth. Therefore, anything other than B. would be incorrect.
