Answer:

Presence of two copies of mutated alleles would cause sickle cell anemia in person.

Explanation:

The gene HBB codes for the beta globin protein of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the protein present in red blood cells and serve in oxygen transport. Mutation in HBB gene leads to production of abnormal hemoglobin molecules. These hemoglobin molecules stick to each other and impart stiffness and sickle shape to the red blood cells. Presence of two copies of mutated gene leads to sickle cell anemia characterized by reduced oxygen supply to the body cells and/or blocked blood vessels.

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

As it is given that, a Mendelian cross is performed between two parents resulted by cross the parents. This suggests that the parents or P generation has zero recombination hence the genotype of Parents would be AA and aa in nature. Therefore, all the F1 generation offspring were Aa in nature. The selfing of the F1 offspring will be:

         A  a

A AA Aa

a Aa aa

Genotype: AA: Aa: aa :: 1:2:1

Phenotype: Dominant: recessive :: 3:1

Answer: Skin; Brain, GSA - General Somatic Afferent

Explanation:

<em>Whilst bushwalking, Brian begins to feel chafing sensation in his thighs. In order to perceive this chafing, neural impulses must travel in one direction – from his </em><em><u>skin</u></em><em> to his </em><em><u>brain</u></em><em>. This information would travel via </em><em><u>GSA </u></em><em>neurones.</em>

The peripheral mechanoreceptors which are found on the skin and used to detect movement will detect the chafing and send it to the brain.

This information will be received by the brain through General Somatic Afferent neurons which are spread across the body and have the primary function of detecting touch and temperature.
