Sickle cell anemia and albinism are both recessive traits in humans. The genes for these traits are located on different chromos

omes. Imagine that a couple, already pregnant with twins, has just learned that they are both heterozygous for both of these traits. As the couple's genetic counselor, the couple asks you the following questions about how their carrier status will affect their offspring.
If the couple has fraternal twins, what is the probability that both children will be unaffected by both conditions?

Answer:

Given that, both parents are heterozygous. Now, the chances for one child to inherit one defective gene from each parent = ½*1/2 =¼.

Similarly, the probability of being affected by albinism =Probability of inheriting one defective gene from each parent = ½*½ = ¼

The probability of not being affected = 1- the probability of being affected = 1-1/4 = ¾.

Now, the chances of not being affected by both albinism and sickle cell anemia = ¾*3/4 = 9/16.

The probability of neither twins be affected = 9/16*9/16 =81/256.

In most vertebrate neurons, an action potential arrives at the axon terminal and causes the release of chemical messenger molecu
erik [133]

The correct answer is option d, that is, neurotransmitters.  

A neurotransmitter refers to a chemical component, which is discharged at the terminal of a nerve fiber by the introduction of a nerve impulse, and by diffusing across the junction or synapse. It helps in the transfer of the impulse to another muscle fiber, nerve fiber, or some other composition. Acetylcholine is a kind of neurotransmitter, that is, used by neurons in the CNS and the PNS in the control of activities ranging from heart rate and muscle contraction to digestion and memory.
