Gene is a sequence of nucleotides on the DNA that determines a certain trait. When the gene mutates, it takes up two or more forms. These forms are called the alleles. Example, in the pea plant, a gene codes for the color of the pea. This gene exists in two forms, one gives yellow color to the peas and the other gives green color to the peas. The two forms can be present together in the genome. Their expression will determine the dominance of one form over the other (in this case yellow color is dominant over the green color).

A person's genotype can be guessed but not accurately estimated by looking at the phenotype. A phenotype can be a result of the action of two or more genes expressing together. Though a pedigree analysis on the inheritance of certain kinds of genes can reveal the mode of inheritance, i.e., if its autosomal gene inheritance or sexually-linked gene inheritance.

Answer: The type of inheritance shown by the gene that control sickle cell anaemia is autosomal recessive inheritance

Explanation: Autosomal recessive inheritance means that there is mutation in two copies of the gene in a cell. Sickle cell anaemia is a condition caused by a single point mutation in the two beta chains of haemoglobin. Haemoglobin is a protein in the red blood cells responsible for oxygen transport to the cells. The mutation is caused by substitution of valine in place of glutamate at the sixth position of the two beta chains of haemoglobin.

Every individual has two copies of almost every gene, one from the mother, and one from the father. The autosomal recessive inheritance pattern of sickle cell gene means that for an individual to manifest outwardly as sickle cell, the two copies of the gene inherited from the parents are mutated.

Which hormone uses a second messenger mechanism? testosterone estrogen norepinephrine cortisol none of these choices?
jeka94

<span>Norepinephrine uses the Second Messenger System, which means, cells signal to each other what molecules have been released that will trigger a physiological reaction. </span>

<span>
This phenomenon is activated after the ligand  (ion or molecule) is bonded to its receptor (protein molecule), creating a variation that causes a chain-reaction, that will finally activate the Second Messenger. The latter will activate intercellular molecules that will be able to control the cell’s activity. </span>

Answer:

Evolution, of course is the process of change in all forms of life over generations and evolutionary biology is the study of how evolution occurs. Biological populations evolve through the changes in the organisms' observable traits. All life on the planet exists because it evolves to best fit the environmental conditions and those who adapt best, pass on those characteristics to their offspring. In other words, descent with modification.
