Answer:

Since sickle cell disease is a disorder with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern, and in light of the lack of data, it could be said that the only way for Pat and Tracy to have a child with sickle cell disease is for both of them to be healthy carriers of the gene, with a 25% probability.

Explanation:

Considering that both Pat and Tracy each have a sibling with a sickle cell trait and that both they and their parents are healthy, it must be assumed that some of their parents are healthy carriers:

  1. Pat and Tracy do not have sickle cell trait. In this case, there is no chance that they will have a child with sickle cell disease.
  2. Either Pat or Tracy has the trait, but the other does not. It is possible that at least one of their children is a healthy carrier.
  3. If both Tracy and Pat have sickle cell trait, the chances of having a child with sickle cell disease are:

Alelles       R         r

R              RR       Rr

r               Rr        rr

RR: healthy (25%).

Rr:  healthy carrier (50%).

rr: sickle cell disease (25%).

<em>If Pat and Tracy are healthy carriers of the gene that determines sickle cell disease, the chance of having a child with the disease is 25%</em>.

DerKrebs [107]

In a small cramped kitchen, you and some friends are preparing a spaghetti dinner. the water is boiling and the pasta is now ready to be carried to the sink to drain. you pick up the pot of bubbling pasta water and start in the direction of the sink. the pot holder slips slightly, causing the water to splash onto your arm. the scalding water burns your forearm. you are experiencing a lot of pain, with a red, blistering burn on your arm.

The appropriate first response will be to cool the affected arm under running water and application of ice pack. The cold temperatures will lower the pain that is being felt.

Which of these requires a host cell to copy its genetic material and protein coat?
svet-max [94.6K]

The virus' DNA becomes a part of the host cell's DNA, and every time the host cell copies and divides, it also copies viral DNA. The viral DNA may remain inactive (a provirus) for a long time, but it can become active when it frees itself from the host's chromosome, which triggers the lytic cycle.

I forget which one is the virus' DNA
