Answer:
I'll inform them that the possibility of all their future children/offspring being phenotypically sickle-celled is very high.
Explanation:
Sickle cell is an inherited disease condition in which the red blood cells of the blood loses its shape and hence, dies or gets broken down. It has to do with the blood genotype of an individual. There are three major types of blood genotypes in humans namely: AA, AS, and SS. SS is the recessive genotype that codes for the sickle cell trait.
Hence, a human with the sickle cell trait has a genotype- SS. Therefore, according to this question, a man and a woman, each with sickle-cell trait (SS), were planning to marry, This will mean that both the man and the woman will always produce a gamete with S allele, which will combine to form an SS offspring. In other words, all of the offsprings of this man and woman will be sickle-celled.
Answer:
The sternum, thoracic vertebrae, and ribs protect the heart and lungs.
Explanation:
The skeleton can be divided into the <em>axial skeleton</em> (the skull and the vertebral column), <em>visceral skeleton</em> (ribs and sternum) and the <em>appendicular skeleton</em> (extremities).
The function of the <em><u>visceral skeleton</u></em> is to <em>support and protect</em> the first portion of the digestive and cardio-breathing apparatus.
In mammals, the second part of the vertebral column (thoracic vertebrae), the ribs and the sternum delimitate a protective box for lungs and heart.
Answer:
A. A prokaryote lacks a well-defined nucleus.
C. A prokaryote lacks cell organelles.
Explanation:
A prokaryote has DNA or RNA just floating in the cytoplasm. There is no nucleus to hold them inside. A prokaryote also lacks a mitochondria and other organelles, so it is different from a eukaryote.
