Answer: If a husband and wife who are both carriers of the sickle-cell anemia allele (Ss) but do not have the disease decide to have a child, the offspring can be Normal (SS), carrier (Ss) or sick (ss) with the probability ¼, 2/4 (½) and ¼ respectively.
Explanation: If the mother contributes the dominant allele and the father also contributes the dominant allele, the genotype of the child will be SS. The probability is ¼. This means there is a 25% chance that a randomly selected offspring will be a normal child and will not have sickle-cell anemia.
If the mother contributes the dominant allele and the father contributes the recessive allele, the genotype of the child will be Ss. The probability is 2/4 or ½. This means there is a 50% chance that a randomly selected offspring will be a carrier of sickle cell anemia, but will not have sickle-cell anemia.
If the mother contributes the recessive allele and the father also contributes the recessive allele, the genotype of the child will be ss. The probability is ¼. This means there is a 25% chance that a randomly selected offspring will have sickle cell anemia.

Explanation:
The global climate is the connected system of sun, earth and oceans, wind, rain and snow, forests, deserts and savannas, and everything people do, too. The climate of a place, say New York, can be described as its rainfall, changing temperatures during the year and so on.
Chemical (mutagens)
usually either mimic the structure of nucleotides and are inserted in DNA or either cause
chemical changes (such as alkylation) in nucleotides hence causing mismatching during replication.
Radiation, on the other hand, (due to its high energy) causes double-strand breaks in DNA causing an
increased likelihood of mutations during the repair of the DNA by cell
mechanisms.

Answer:
Testes and ovaries produce two types of hormones:
androgens (male sex hormones)
estrogens (female full hormones)
In each type of gland, both types of hormones are secreted only in different amounts: the ovaries secrete more estrogen than the androgen hormones, and the sperm inversely.
Explanation:
In testicular tissue, Leydig cells produce androgen hormones: androsterone and testosterone. The ovaries produce a group of estrogen hormones and progesterone. These hormones exert their effect at puberty when the glands are activated. At puberty, the pituitary gonadostimulins activate the sex glands, whose activity leads to the development of secondary sex characteristics (the appearance of first menstruation in girls, beards and mustaches in boys, etc.).
