The stage at which the development of the brain reaches its adult is the middle childhood. A child's Brain undergoes a period of development from birth to three-producing more than a million neural connections each second. This development is influenced by many factors, which include the child's relationships, experiences and environment.
Step One - Obtain a clean microscope slide.
Step Two - Place a drop of liquid on the slide. This is the “wet” part of the wet mount. The liquid used depends on the type of cell being viewed:
If examining a plant cell, tap water can be used.
If examining an animal cell, physiological saline (or contact lens solution) must be used, because if plain water is used, the cell will explode from osmotic pressure. Unlike plant cells and bacteria, animal cells have no cell wall to structurally support them.
Step Three - Obtain the specimen to be used. Some introductory biology classics for viewing include:
Skin of an onion bulb: In order to view the cells, a very thin layer of skin must be obtained. Take a single layer of onion and bend it towards the shiny side. After it snaps, pull gently, and a transparent layer of skin, similar to Scotch tape, will appear.
Elodea leaf: Elodea leaves are two cell layers thick. The cells in one layer are smaller than the cells in the other, so elodea leaves can be used to better understand a microscope's depth of field.
Cheek cells: Human epithelial cells can be obtained by gently rubbing a toothpick on the inside of the mouth, and then swirling the toothpick in the physiological saline on the slide.
Pond water: Obtaining some water from a pond makes wet mount preparation a breeze, since the water and the specimens are both included.

Answer:
6,25%
Explanation:
Considering that the couple has a trait of sickle cell anemia, we know that both are heterozygous for the disease (Aa) and therefore can have children with the following genotypes:
Parents: Aa X Aa
Children: AA(A x A), Aa(A x a), Aa (a x A) and aa(a x a)
Knowing that sickle cell anemia only occurs in homozygous individuals, the probability for children to have the disease according to each crossing is:
A x A = 1/4 = 25%
A x a = 1/4 = 25%
a x A = 1/4 = 25%
a x a = 1/4 = 25%
The probability of forming each homozygous child (aa) is 1/4 or 25%. Since they are two children, the probability of both having sickle cell anemia is calculated by multiplying the probability of each, so:
1/4 × 1/4 = 1/16 = 0.0625 = 6.25%
It is concluded that the probability of a heterozygous couple for sickle cell anemia to have two children with the disease is 6.25%.
